Concept

Seoyeon Kim translates images gathered from digital environments into painting, exploring the blurred boundary between reality and fiction. Drawing inspiration from objects found on online marketplaces—such as vintage ornaments—her works reveal the tension between material presence and commodified imagery. By incorporating elements like barcodes or scale comparison props, Kim emphasizes the temporality and materiality of images that might otherwise seem intangible. Her practice ultimately questions how far the online world can be recognized as reality, offering a renewed perspective on visual experience.

Concept

I’m interested in the idea that “parts create the whole.”

On the canvas, events that are repeatedly generated through overlapping layers of paint unfold like a chain reaction, carrying an element of chance as they gradually permeate the entire surface. Just as a series of events generates a single form, I believe that within the space of a painting, there exists a structure that emerges between chance and choice.

I paint while observing the traces and phenomena that occur on the surface, and in doing so I explore the relationships between things.

Concept

Yurina Okada creates new two-dimensional works that interweave painting and photographic techniques. Her work is based on the belief that “everything decays,” which makes the intentionally applied cracks in the picture plane relevant to the Japanese aesthetic of “the beauty of imperfection.”

Okada’s work makes a statement about the problem of superficiality of two-dimensional works such as “Faktura” of the Russian avant-garde from a Japanese perspective.

Yumi Nagata

Yumi Nagata

Profile

Yumi Nagata

Born in Tokyo, Japan, 1997

Education
2021 Tama Art University Japanese Painting Course

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.
