The Gallery by SOIL and wamono art are pleased to announce “The Beauty of Geometry – Bamboo Art by Hajime Nakatomi” exhibition from 17 April to 16 May 2021. We will hold a physical exhibition at our gallery in Hong Kong. As a bamboo artist in Japan, Nakatomi flings himself into creating new bamboo art regardless of traditional technique and form.


"The calculation of parameters is the basis of his work and passion at the same time. In his world of numbers he finds the beauty of geometry and symmetry, the elegance of simple circles, triangles, squares, ellipses and figure-eights. Repeated many times, pure geometry can also take on organic forms, comparable to a macroscopic view of microscopic structures inherent in nature." (Craftland Japan, Uwe Röttgen and Katharina Zettl, 2020)


Nakatomi's work was exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston in 2006. Thereafter, he continuously exhibited his works at museums and galleries in New York, London, and Paris. Moreover, he created art works for The Ritz Carlton Kyoto and Tokyo, Fukuoka Airport, and Osaka International Airport. His works can be found in the permanent collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, and the Hove Museum in East Sussex, among others.
