Chu Enoki, "RPM-1200" (2005): Chu's work is a standout, a shining metal city made of what look like industrial drill bits, massive screws and saw blades. It's a perfect example of the use of excess in a number of the works in the exhibition to convey the chaos of the present day urban experience.
Etsuko Fukaya's etchings (2003-2007): The only print artist in the exhibition, Fukaya creates dense menageries of animals, plants and individuals that also show this tendency to excess. Their minute, fantastical details invite prolonged viewing.
Nobuyuki Tanaka, "Shape of Lacquer" (2007): Among everything on display, it is possible to miss Tanaka's giant, silently gleaming modern take on traditional Japanese laquerware. But take time to dwell on it. Its stately presence is reminiscent of some of the more dramatic contemporary ceramic works that have appeared in the last 50 years, such as Suehara Fukami's monoliths and Chiho Aono's biomorphic forms.
