Catalogue of solo exhibition by Kimura Ihei at Maison Hermes in 2006. According to Shimizu Minoru, Kimura Ihei has depicted the Paris of the Japanese dream, behind the guise of contemporary Paris scenes. Kimura Ihie's colour is the colour of dreams held by the Japanese. 'Here, the stylish "Parisian" are indispensable. Here are not, of course, the Arabs, the blacks or the Japanese, who have no place in the Paris of one's dreams but adorable children, beautiful women, friendly craftsmen, and robust mothers of the working-class neighbourhoods... For those who know Paris today, Kimura Ihei's Paris will give an impression of vivaciousness and distance that permeate only what has long gone, as if one finds in an old photograph unexpectedly youthful figures of one's grandparents.' Artist biography is provided in the present catalogue.
