  • ART FAIR - CROSSOVER
Painter. Born in 1992. Gunma Born in Ota City. Graduated from the Department of Painting, Graduate School of Fine Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts (Laboratory of Techniques and Materials). Based on the actual experience of parting with [others] with whom he had a trusting relationship, such as heartbreak, isolation, and bereavement, he calls the image of the other person (like a chimera that does not represent a specific individual, but is a complex intertwining of past experiences) that continues to change fluidly in his own mind even after that, and uses various materials and methods of expression to explore the nature of the motif with its amorphous yet strong feeling. In addition to his individual creative activities, he regularly holds self-organized exhibitions and art festivals under the theme of "the antithesis of the modern age that seeks precocious expression" and invites players of his generation (not only artists but also curators and critics). Major solo exhibitions include "Colorful Carcasses" (2023, TAKU SOMETANI G ALL ERY, Tokyo), "Until You Turn into You" (2024, galleryblue3143, Tokyo), and "Living Garden" (2019, Kyoto Prefectural Botanical Garden, Kyoto) and "Standing Ovation" (2021, Hotel New Akao, Shizuoka) Walking Minutes" (2023, GASBON_METABOLISM, Yamanashi), major self-organized exhibitions include "Painting and Movement 'Rough Dimension'" (2018, Yotsuya Unconfirmed Studio, Tokyo), "Would you like to take a short detour?"
