It is a tribute to the typical chromatic palette of the subject of still life, a theme that Shogo holds dear since his years of study. Peculiar is the pictorial rendering of the spreading of color. Indefinite stains, formulated at first through the use of a thick brushstroke that exudes dense and opaque color; then light touches, gradual releases of evanescent colors, light and impalpable, watery in their consistency and expanding on the paper following the constitutive texture of its fibers. Yet, something stands out in this earthy landscape. Something extremely bright, luminous, engaging. An intense blue rises from the surface of the support, from the calm and quiet swamp below. A blue applied with an aggressive gesture, instinctive and strong in its speed of application stands out in the middle of the composition giving it a sense and a wonderful completeness. It is the power of color to dominate the work of art, the supremacy of its intrinsic expressive force over silhouette, line, form and all the elements that dominate our daily vision of reality. After all, Shogo has created an "invisible landscape" in this painting, an excerpt of space-time which is the result of a distillation of reality, of a decantation of the superfluous in order to arrive at the constitutive core of every form, of every element that contributes to the composition of our daily vision. It is a landscape that cannot be objectively traced back to something existing and yet, in the artist's mind, this scenario is very clear and present. It is the result of his sublimation of reality, of the transformation of everyday life to a higher degree of understanding, to a qualitative level that excludes every superfluous element, every superabundant detail, every element that distances us from the assimilation of a pure and uncontaminated reality.

Biography
1982 Born in Tokyo, Japan
2005 Graduated from Musashino Art University, Department of Oil Painting
Lives and works in Tokyo as of 2021.

I used to paint still life paintings in my studio for production, but I started to use iPad apps for production around 2018. I'm working under the name shogo8802, and I'm currently enjoying painting abstracts.
When I draw, I feel like I want to use this color or erase this line. When I paint, I want to use this color somehow, or erase this line somehow, and I use these "somehow" senses as the basis for my decisions. As I repeat these judgments, there are colors and shapes that disappear, and colors and shapes that remain.
What remains in the repetition is my work.

Since there is no escape from my own judgments during production, I believe that if I want to change my work, I have to change myself.
