'New-wave Artists 2015: From the Public Entry Exhibition'

Feb. 19-March 15

This exhibition reintroduces five up-and-coming artists — Takumi Sejima, Keishi Takashima, Kazuki Takamatsu, Minoru Tamaru and Ayaka Yamada — all of whom have shown work at the museum's "Best Selection 2014" exhibition held in spring last year.

Sejima has become known for his large-scale landscape painting; Takashima's work shows a strong understanding and influence of classical Japanese art; Takamatsu uses computers to design illustrations he creates with resin paints; Tamaru creates wood carvings with unusual twists; and Yamada's detailed lithographic illustrations explore the theme of connections in life. Around 30 works are on display, including new pieces by each of the five artists.

Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum; 8-36 Ueno Koen, Taito-ku, Tokyo. Ueno Stn. 9:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. (Fri. till 8 p.m.). ¥500. Closed March 2. 03-3823-6921; www.tobikan.jp
