Anthony Gallery Announces Grand Opening Featuring En Iwamura

Tickets are limited, RSVP here on Eventbrite to reserve a spot.

En Iwamura, the multi-medium artist, with a unique style, is originally from Kyoto, Japan. At a young age he grew up in an artistic environment, informing the trajectory of the career and long form creative lifestyle. Iwamura’s works are known for his use of vibrant color palettes, bold lines, and eye-catching features, that lure viewers in. His work on universal mediums is transcendent, speaking international languages to global audiences – forming relationships between viewers across cultures, peoples, and countries. En Iwamura graduated with a BFA in craft at the Kanazawa College of Art and Craft in 2011, and continued his education which led to receiving a MFA from the Kanazawa College of Art and Craft in 2013 and a second MFA from Clemson University in 2016.

Aside from his art, Iwamura is known for being incredibly gracious and humble. Iwamura is an avid member in the art community, actively willing and eager to share his knowledge or experience with others – commonly participating in workshops or lectures to aspiring artists.

En Iwamura works are highly sought after by art collectors and enthusiasts across the globe. His current research probes, dissects, and explores how the manipulation of artistic materials can influence how viewers experience and occupy space in the midst of installed artworks. These site-responsive installations charge viewers to consider distance, space, time, relationship, and the present moment.

The opening is orchestrated by Isimeme “Easy” Otabor, the owner and curator of the Anthony Gallery. In regards to the upcoming exhibition Otabor states, I’m honored to collaborate again with En Iwamura, who I consider a friend and an amazing artist. The passion that he displays through his art is a representation of the energy I strive to display throughout the world and at Anthony Gallery.

Anthony Gallery has moved to Fulton Market, a vibrant and rapidly growing neighborhood in Chicago, Illinois.
