小津航（スタジオ航大）

Born in 1991. He majored in oil painting at Tokyo University of the Arts and graduated from the same university's graduate school. Ozu's works are characterized by vivid colors like watercolors and light brushstrokes, and the use of "ma" (space) within the picture plane to control the pictorial space. From an early age, he was familiar with Japanese art such as Yamato-e and Rinpa, as well as Western classical painting, and these influences are deeply rooted in his creative work.
He creates oil paintings by referencing Eastern landscape paintings and ukiyo-e, as well as Western art motifs. In recent years, through the basic themes of painting, such as "still life," "landscape," and "figure painting," he has focused on the distance between the artist and the subject, and the setting of the pictorial space, which are seen in the open Eastern pictorial space, and is working on creating works that reconsider these elements.
