invisible brave - smell-sensitive people -

Concept

Satoko Aoki's works are based on the theme of "invisible things" such as emotions, sounds, and smells. The mysterious line drawings, which seem to move back and forth "between concrete and abstract," are based on the "noise" that floods the artist's brain on a daily basis, and their continual fluctuation makes them a discovery each time they are viewed and keeps the viewer interested. What used to be a negative "noise" is transformed into a positive "sound" when expressed as art. Through his unique worldview, he continues to create artwork that tells a positive story and makes us feel positive. In recent years, using acrylic paint and canvas, which are popular materials for paintings, he has been creating works that incorporate many of the "advantages of dyeing" that he felt while dyeing, such as drawing lines like yuzen dyeing and reproducing the blurring and shibori that are characteristic of dyeing. As a former dyeing artist, this is a new attempt to "express dyeing without dyeing," focusing on the "concept" of dyeing.
