MONDRIAN=NOW: Is His UTOPIA Still Effective? 　　　 　　　　　　　TOP　　WORKS　　→NEXT

Saturday, May 10 - Sunday, May 25, 1997

/East of the Keihanna Plaza Building, Kansai Science City .1-7, Hikaridai, Seika-cho, Soraku-county, Kyoto,

Keiichi Ikemizu has created a gigantic, geometric form (30m x 60m) on top of the pyramidal mound

at the eastern end of the parking lot of the Keihanna Plaza,Kansai Science City, Kyoto Prefecture.

Elevated 20 meters from the ground, it cannot be seen unless you climb the steps on the slope of the mound,

or go up to the seventh floor or higher in the Keihanna Plaza Building.

In the early twentieth century, Mondrian sought to depict thoroughly simplified images on canvas.

Those images seem to reflect his concepts of an ideal society or Utopia in the modern world.

Formed with multiple squares painted in red, blue, yellow and white,

this Mondrian-like creation of Ikemizu may confront you with a question:

Is Mondrian's ideal or Utopia still effective today?
