Materials: acrylic paint, map of Tokyo (Yamanote Line Otsuka Station area), brass foil, plastic pieces from the beach, pen, canvas ▷TOKYO MONSTER_GoTo Paradise, Concept: (continued from series description) Looking back on history, people have a background of overcoming the rough times by praying and hoping for relief. Environmental changes, wars, pandemics, economic downturns, and the present day is also in the midst of an unstable world. Therefore, I added elements that suggest a future of salvation by citing Buddhist decorations that evoke the image of a Buddha in a fighting rage phase and the Pure Land philosophy, and frame-by-frame expressions that show the passage of time like an emaki (picture scroll) or manga (comic book). What human beings need to overcome the turning point of time is the light of hope, unchanged in the past and the present. ▷Concept of this work The work depicts an Ark from this world to a future of salvation in which Housoge (flowers blooming in paradise) blooms in profusion; a red ribbon-like object overlaid with DNA imagery indicates the path of life flowing through the time axis. The circle is said to mean a return to nothingness. It expresses the potential of people to purify themselves of defects and move into a brilliant future. *Screen protective burnish is coated and a cord is attached to the back for wall hanging. *Co-seal (simple certificate) is attached.

▷ARTIST STATEMENT The theme is nature and life. Adding the knowledge of science that he learned at his previous school to the context of nature worship that the Japanese people have been connected to since ancient times, he seeks to express a bird's-eye view of the magnificent natural world that unfolds inside living organisms and outside of society, which is beyond the reach of the human eye. Specifically, he draws motifs that run through the hierarchy of the natural world, such as cells → whales (individuals) → maps (society), in parallel, and adds a time axis to his expression to create works that visualize the reason and structure of the world. Another characteristic of contemporary nature is that it is changing under the influence of humans. Therefore, in recent years, he has been focusing on the problem of plastic in the oceans and weather changes caused by global warming. Applying the techniques of contemporary art, in which everyday objects and images are used in art, he samples parts from everyday life (contemporary society), art history, biology, and his own history, and connects them together to create a new worldview. He aims to create works that fuse Japanese aesthetic sensibilities derived from a view of nature with Western philosophical elements. He mainly creates semi-3-dimensional two-dimensional works based on acrylic paintings. (2024.9.15)
