The Gaze Trap – New works

Opening: 20 September 2026, 2 p.m. till 6 p.m.
Duration of the exhibition: 21 September – 31 October 2026

Norihiko Terayama initially studied design in Japan before moving to the Design Academy Eindhoven. It was there that he first encountered Dutch conceptual design, an encounter that almost inevitably led him to pursue a career in art. Perhaps this explains the profound intention that resonates throughout each of his works.

The choice of material always marks the starting point of his creative process. His series of works often reveal a consistency, such as in the recurring use of needles or nylon threads. His repertoire of materials, however, extends far beyond this: acrylic paint, paper, wood, dried plants, artificial flowers. Each of these materials carries its own story, one that can only be told through that particular medium.
