ーー
Humor in sadness, sadness in joy, comfort in discomfort.
I paint mainly in oil, with a sense of love for the quiet buzzing of emotions that I suddenly feel in my daily life.
Many of his recent works are inspired by his stage creations. I have resumed theater, which I studied as a child, a few years ago, and I feel that my creative consciousness has changed as I experiment with different approaches to expression: painting, sculpture, and theater. I have come to trust more in my sensual impulses and inspirations for creation, and to want to experiment playfully and casually. I also want to create as if I were spinning a poetic tale, throwing fragments of my own memories and senses into the world of images that rise up unconsciously.
During the exhibition, a mini-performance of an improvised two-person show will be held with MURAYAMA Chiaki of “Kakuteiya,” who co-created a two-person show on stage this spring and a video work to be exhibited in this exhibition.
