Concept

I create paintings based on images associated with words, and as a rule, the following items are my rules. (1) I cut up the text written by a third party. (2) The creator reconstructs the text in (1). (3) The artist creates a painting using only the text in (2) as a clue. The artist cuts up words found around her, such as the instruction manual for the fan she uses at home and the piano instruction book she used in her childhood, and creates paintings from the reconstructed sentences.

Statement

The motifs of Fukuhara’s paintings include a wide range of subjects, including people, still life, and landscapes, and the types of paintings range from abstract to figurative. Fukuhara finds the subjects of his paintings when he is alone or in the midst of his mundane daily life with friends. He creates paintings based on images he takes with his smartphone, but arranges these images freely through the artist’s sensory filter. Fukuhara always hopes to shorten the distance between the viewer of his paintings and himself, the artist, and to have the viewer relive the perspective he had when he was painting. In other words, Fukuhara’s paintings and drawings are an effective medium for sharing with strangers the sensations and perceptions he has in his daily life that are not fully articulated through his artwork. However, Fukuhara never forces the viewer to have a “correct” view of his paintings, but rather allows the viewer to perceive them freely through his or her own sensibilities. In the midst of an increasing number of contemporary art works that overly demand context and prerequisite knowledge and compete only with each other for “esotericism,” Fukuhara’s painting practice is strikingly fresh.

Concept

Miyu Yamada creates works which project the beings which live between the gaps of the currents of time periods and society. She uses materials like soil as an intermediate existence between the city and nature, capturing the characteristic untethered, floating feeling and evasiveness of the modern person.

She develops a series of works based on drawings with raised lines and works using pastels. The creatures that appear in her works are depicted as the viewers themselves as well as Yamada herself as she looks at the rapidly changing times and intersecting societies.

Concept

She creates works based on her interests and the questions that arise from her surroundings and dialogues. She has been focusing on creating a number of paintings that are mainly based on the human will.
Since her solo exhibition “Addition to Traces,” held in 2020, in which she drew on the belongings of others, her interest in people living in the present has grown stronger, and she has repeatedly recorded (created) trivial changes in the world that unfold in front of her eyes as parts of her works, in real time.
She agrees with the words of numerous painters who have told her that “to live is to paint,” and she works with her brush in her studio every day.
