小林 正人

Masato Kobayashi was born in Tokyo in 1957. Since the mid-1980s, he has independently explored the way painting should be. He said, ``It's too late to start painting after stretching a white canvas on a wooden frame. Establish a method to raise. The works created by a methodology that creates an image and space at the same time and unites the soul and body of the painting, give off a strong presence in the space and approach the viewer.

Born in Tokyo (1957), Masato Kobayashi has explored his own definition of pain ting since the mid 1980s. Having deemed that “it is too late to pain t after stretching canvas over a wooden frame,” Kobayashi established his way of pain ting by stretching canvas and pain ting simultaneously. During his artmaking process, he puts pain t on his hand directly from pain t tubes and applies colors by rubbing them on the canvas which he holds in place with the other hand. the same time, and his methodology, which seems to integrate the soul of pain ting and body together, allows his artwork to stand out in the exhibition space and leave a strong impression on the viewers.
