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.
