Rei Naito – Face (the joys were greater)

LOOCK Galerie is delighted to announce the solo show of Rei Naito Face (the joys were greater). It will run in parallel to the exhibition color beginning at the Pinakothek der Moderne Munich (May 6 – August 30, 2026). In dialogue with the gallery space, the artist places three compositions of four sculptures and two additional sculptural bodies of work. Each Face forms a set with a single Grace, made with floral-print fabric, and a tiny glass bead hung from the ceiling. Return the secret to the world is presented as a set with 1 – 3. An infinite space of light created by mirrors placed on the floor and ceiling. Recurring titles, motifs, and materials in the oeuvre of Rei Naito engage the viewer's subconscious within a delicate balance of contraction and release, expanding and deepening the interpretation of the works. Naito often describes her works in terms of circulation between „inside of life“ and „outside of life“.
