A2 Reading Comprehension

Last Sunday, I visited an art exhibition in Nagoya. The exhibition was about modern Japanese artists. There were paintings, sculptures, and photographs on display. One painting of a cherry blossom tree was so beautiful that I stood in front of it for ten minutes. The artist, Ms. Aoki, was there and explained her work to visitors. She said she loves painting nature. I also saw a sculpture made of recycled materials, which was very creative. After the exhibition, I bought a small art book from the gift shop.
