Makoto Ofune

Eternity

04.30.2025 - 06.13.2025

In collaboration with Yoshii Gallery (New York) and Galerie Enrico Navarra, Galerie 75 Faubourg presents an exhibition dedicated to Japanese artist Makoto Ofune, featuring a selection of recent paintings and sculptures.

Makoto Ofune creates work imbued with silence, slowness, and contemplation. Using powdered mineral pigments applied to Japanese hemp paper, stone, or crystals, he crafts delicate surfaces where the act of repetition becomes a form of meditation. Through this practice, he explores the subtle connections between the ephemeral and the eternal, the visible and the invisible, matter and breath.

His works, both fragile and powerful, embody a search for resonance with the deep rhythms of nature. They convey a fundamental sensory experience, in which intimate perception meets a cosmic vision of the world. His palette, full of nuance and restraint, evokes a kind of visual asceticism in harmony with Zen aesthetics and philosophy.
