Her works take the forms of image-making that forge images into materials. Those are images neither produced by her nor of her living documentation that she focuses on/ paints. They did not witness a capital History, nor are they noteworthy. They are pictures we’ve once come across. For her, this working process reflects the contemporary experience where our living life is constantly imaged, even archived. Once uploaded to social media, these images constitute us on the internet. For what it shapes has become a new reality, everything is real, and the presence of matter no longer affects priority.

Concept

Focusing on oil painting and ceramics, he has recently been thinking and working on the cohabitation of conflicting ideas; situations and mentalities where opposing elements such as good and evil, beauty and ugliness coexist. Morisaku depicts inner contradictions and harmony through pictorial motifs.
While connecting motifs with art historical elements, Morisaku contrasts them with their own inner world and explores new perspectives of reality.

Atsuki Fujimoto

Profile

Atsuki Fujimoto

1997　Born in Mie, Japan
2021　MFA, Kyoto University of the Arts, Graduate School of Art and Design Studies, Art Major, Fine and Applied Arts Field, Oil Painting

Statement

By depicting the rustling of the forest, the wind blowing through it, and the soft sunlight that gently envelops the flowers and plants, and the feel and atmosphere of the air, he attempts to create a landscape in the exhibition space.
Each time, he selects and cares for the texture and materiality of the painting so that the feel and atmosphere of the landscape, and the unique qualities and scenes of the motifs complement each other.
By layering soft, fine-grained fabric or scraping it away, the aspects of the flowers and air that emerge create a pictorial space with physical perspective, and give rise to the presence of flowers and the light and air that surrounds them.

Concept

The scenes, memories, air, colors, and specific gestures that I see in my daily life as I interact with others are all motivations for my work. I became interested in the human face after suffering from severe atopic dermatitis as an adolescent, and I use the people I encounter as my medium while mixing my own perspectives to create “someone” and depict the “face” within each of them.

Scholarships

2019
Moriya Art Education Encouragement Award

Concept

Inoue is inspired by a wide range of media from tragic history to ridiculous home videos on social networking sites. While oil painting is her main medium, she incorporates pain, sorrow, love, and forgiveness that exist in the world created by humans into ephemeral and light expressions of pain, sorrow, love, and forgiveness through her non-standard painting and spatial expressions, combining various painting materials such as her own bearings, brushes, and needles.

Nono Fujita

2000　Born in Hiroshima
2024　 BFA in Sculpture, Tama Art University

Selected Exhibitions

2024
“Tama Art University Graduation Exhibition — Selected Exhibition”

2021
“Rensa no Ko” Duo Show, MADO Labo MITE Nakatani Michiko Laboratory

Concept

Fujita creates self-portraits based on images that arise from the constraints they feel on a daily basis.
They use clothing with thick folds to hiding the lines of their body and protect their mental state. By doing so they avoid publicity and refuses to be forced to be seen a certain way by others.

Concept

Currently inspired by lessons learned in surfing, she works on developing abstract sculptures and wall pieces on movement and speed. Comical names as Wakame Rider or Longboard boogie, gives a light-hearted impression, but we all know how merciless the ocean can be. 
Human against nature is a new satirical theme, telling the story about human struggle to find balance and clarity if only just for a short ride.
