Snow Pallet 5

Toshihiko Shibuya Installation “Snow Palette V″ Date: November 11th, 2013 – End of winter Place: Otaru Canal Plaza and Old Aoyama Villa in Otaru Curation: Clark Gallery + SHIFT Supported by Otaru Tourism Association, Hokkaido Newspaper Press Snow Pallet is an artwork where fluorescent paint has been applied to the bottom of an object in order to express the snow’s vivid reflection by its surface. It is an installation work that changes the landscape from time to time according to the amount of snow and sunlight, and by the number of objects of different heights. In this Snow Pallet 5, I installed new pieces. New pieces are doughnut types. Surely snow will be piled up in unique form. The Otaru canal plaza is a unique building. The roof is traditional Japanese style. This design is very unique in Hokkaido of the heavy snowfall. And you can view different scenery in Old Aoyama Villa, Otaru distinguished guest house, because the art objects are installed in the Japanese garden.
