Concept

Nagata’s work is created upon a denial toward herself for drawing girls, which is her most focus, as objects in pictures. Through her work, she expresses her conflict state of mind – her paintings are a series of affirmations and negations, and they are tinged with contradictions.
Nagata states, “My work is a seek of painting which can be done by a person grew up in‘Nijigen (ACG – subculture) generation, and it is a refracted resistance and challenge to the history of Japanese art and contemporary art.”

Concept

Fukumi Nakazawa’s work explores a sense of crisis over the dehumanization caused by the development of technology. Informed by her research of dance, anatomy, tools, and ergonomics, the artist’s brush and ink drawings are layered in a stop-motion manner to depict human figures transforming into artificial and otherworldly beings. Each metamorphosis, documented on stacks of illustrated Japanese paper, is eventually pasted together to form a rectangular object, a sculpture forever sealed.
