‘MAYA MAXX’s Sayonara’

Open Studio: January 17-27, 2008 Exhibition Period: January 17 2008 - April 20, 2008

At long last, MAYA MAXX has finally set out on an endless journey. She has discarded everything she achieved up until now and set out afresh on a world trip, taking with her only a single cardboard box.
She is going to be MAYA MAXX until the day she dies. She will remain MAYA MAXX to the end. This is what she has undoubtedly resolved to do.

Hearing her, I felt that she resembled Taro. I recall Toshiko reminiscing with a smile, ‘Taro was not born Taro. He made his decision, prepared himself for the worst and became Taro,’.
‘It’s not my intention to create paintings that Taro would approve of. I just want to become the kind of person that Taro would not reproach,’ MAYA MAXX says.

I wanted her to confront Taro then send her out into the world from there.
She has responded to my request. This is not a ‘Solo Exhibition’. All the works to be put on exhibit will be painted here in front of our eyes.

We hope that you will come and experience MAYA MAXX’s spirit. We invite you to be attend a special moment that will never be repeated.

Let’s all drink to MAYA MAXX!
