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.

“‘Good mood and trace amounts of insanity’  

No matter what happens,
Somewhere everyone wants to be in good spirits.

I’m serious!
With the madness that comes out of desire!”

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.

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.

Concept

Blue is the color of the sea which is the origin of the creature. On the other hand it’s also the color of the death which lost the temperature. That it can be an image which disagrees seems to be an expression of a concept that life and death include each. That seems to be a sign which mixes unstably in order for 2 of something sometimes to become one and a sense in the moment which keeps changing. Many people are charmed by this color and try sublimation of various feeling including me so, and I think they may find sublimation of various feeling again. After earthquake disaster in 2011, sense in the moment which was being kept vaguely became clear for me. The world through which one lives so came to feel harder, more beautiful. I draw the environment, the strength of the person, me, the other ones and the moment which mixes unstably and beauty through the blue world.
