Within the exhibition "Blue Attraction," Yutaka Watanabe delves into the transformative allure of youth and the elusive quest to surpass artistic masters. His collection of symbolic works draws inspiration from personal experiences and a tapestry of artistic mediums, conspiring to ignite alternative perspectives within the viewer's psyche. Through the luminescence of his brushstrokes, Watanabe unveils a world of cubic dimensions, inviting us to behold the multifaceted essence of captivating events.

The azure hue, a nostalgic tribute to youthful exuberance and reverence for Pablo Picasso's genius, courses through the exhibition's veins. "Attraction" beckons the viewer to revel in Watanabe's oeuvre, akin to the playful engagement with amusement park rides, while simultaneously stirring memories of cherished individuals and transformative moments.

Born in Tokyo during the vibrant tapestry of 1981, Watanabe's artistic journey unfurled to fruition with a Master's Degree in painting from Musashino Art University. His solo exhibitions, gracing the hallowed halls of Tomio Koyama Gallery and Maki Fine Arts, resonate with discerning audiences. Noteworthy group showcases, including the Fuchu Biennial and "Syncopation: Contemporary Encounters with the Modern Masters" at the Pola Museum of Art, have further solidified his artistic presence. The public collection of zozo, Inc. proudly houses Watanabe's remarkable creations.
