Introduction by Udayan Vajpeyi for the exhibition Beauty in the Dust.
Udayan Vajpeyi, Poet
Bharat Bhavan Museum, 1995, Bhopal, India
....................................................................................................................................................................................
...The quietness, the sublimity as well as a consciously chosen simplification are the
characteristics that transmit and radiate Gosha’s works.
...The motor of her artistic work is her sense and her sensuality, sometimes her wisdom. All
of this emphasize the poetry of her paintings.
Linde Rohardt,
Art Historian, Kunsthalle Hamburg, Germany
January 2005, Hamburg,
....................................................................................................................................................................................
...The circle of life and the eternal play of life and death is what inspires the artist and gives
her the impulse to create her work. As a dry leaf gradually withers, dies and falls to the
ground, a new one rises and comes to life. This is portrayed so simply and subtly that nobody
need argue. There is no manipulation and no ideology – only the unprejudiced view of
everything that exists in nature.
...One could think the means used are modest, yet this modesty is the result of intense
concentration and contemplative silence. The lines are joined to make distinctly outlined
forms of extreme reduction and simplicity.
Bernd M. Kraske, Art Historian, Museum Director
Museum Rade am Schloß Reinbek, Germany
7. Juni 1998, Hamburg
....................................................................................................................................................................................
...Eine Künstlerin, deren Werke die Vergänglichkeit und die Ordnung, die Schönheit und das
Leid des Lebens widerspiegeln.
Katrin Winkler Kulturmanagerin, Potsdam, Germany
....................................................................................................................................................................................
...Goshas Kunst ist geboren aus der Intuition. Um Gestalt anzunehmen – in welcher Form
auch immer, sei es als Malerei, Zeichnung, Druckgraphik, Glasmalerei oder Keramik – wird
der Zustand innerer Ruhe und Kontemplation zu einer conditio sine qua non, zur
unabdingbaren Voraussetzung. Nur dann steigen die inneren Bilder an die Oberfläche hoch
und verlangen danach, Gestalt anzunehmen. Diese Vision von dem zu schaffenden Werk gibt
Gosha den entscheidenden Impuls für den künstlerischen Akt.
Almut Andreae, Art Historian
Altes Rathaus, Potsdam, Germany
Oktober 2008
....................................................................................................................................................................................
...Gosha Nagashima-Soden has been a professional artist for over 30 years. Her art is a
cohesive combination of a creative spirit and eye with a disciplined hand and exceptional
technical skills. The result is art of the finest quality and with true meaning that gives
enduring pleasure. Her work is regularly exhibited and is in public & private collections
throughout the world.
Despite, or perhaps because of her multi-cultural background, Gosha’s work is both timeless
and without boundaries, just an unprejudiced view of everything that exists in her reality.
Gosha has lived and worked in Potsdam for the last year.
Altes Rathaus, Potsdam, Germany
6. October 2008
....................................................................................................................................................................................
...The paintings are skillfully executed in style and thematic milieu, achieving poignancy
through a unique perspective that resonates throughout the body of work. The rich earth
toned colors provide the emotional sustenance that is communicated in all of the paintings.
Resolute in style, technique and perspective, I feel that the paintings have broad appeal and
will resonate well in New York and with our international audience.
