UltraSuperNew will present an exhibition titled “Shape of Light | 光の姿” by contemporary abstract artist Lin Syouki, originally from China, at its alternative space KURA.

This eighth installment at KURA will showcase Lin’s works centered around the theme of a “dialogue of light” between the viewer and the artwork, exploring the fragility of perception and existence.

Influenced by the theory of spatialism, Lin Syouki has long focused on the interplay of perception, light, and space. Born in China and based in Tokyo since 2018, she merges geometric forms such as circles and squares with spontaneous abstract expression. Her latest works incorporate retroreflective materials, originally studied in 19th-century optical research and now commonly used in sportswear. These materials cause the artworks to shift in appearance based on the viewer’s angle and lighting, creating a continuously evolving visual experience.
