Triumph Gallery presents Peripeteia, a solo project by Yumiko Ono. Through the graphic, textile, and sculptural works featured in the exhibition, the artist reflects on the utopias of the past. Her focus on these ideas reveals how deeply such concepts continue to shape the present and influence our capacity to imagine new and compelling visions for the future.

Yumiko Ono’s artistic research focuses on the study of utopian concepts, particularly those emerging from the Soviet project. She works with fragile and delicate materials—porcelain, tracing paper, and fabric—contrasting them with the monumentality and durability of architecture. At the same time, Yumiko draws inspiration from the beauty of natural forms—their order and resemblance, strikingly juxtaposed with chaos and unpredictability.

Yumiko Ono’s artistic research focuses on the study of utopian concepts, particularly those emerging from the Soviet project. She works with fragile and delicate materials—porcelain, tracing paper, and fabric—contrasting them with the monumentality and durability of architecture. At the same time, Yumiko draws inspiration from the beauty of natural forms—their order and resemblance, strikingly juxtaposed with chaos and unpredictability.
Yumiko draws a parallel between utopian nature and utopian culture. Just as nature produces diverse forms and species that resemble one another, utopian projects of the 20th century, from different perspectives, envisioned a unified and homogeneous mass society, in which each element mirrors itself and forms a coherent, ornamental whole. It is precisely this fusion of culture and nature that forms the basis of the visual language Yumiko develops in her practice.
She is particularly interested in the idea that the materials used in the boldest architectural experiments—whether realized or remaining on paper—such as concrete, glass, and metal, are just as natural in origin as wood, mountains, or water. This notion transforms the perception of civilization as something opposed to nature into a concept that asserts their harmonious symbiosis.
In the artist’s view, the space of art is uniquely capable of fully and vividly раскрыть utopian thinking, giving tangible form to an ideal place that does not exist.
