HIRANO CHIAKI
contemporary artist
I create a wide variety of things using paper and a utility knife. By inventing a unique technique of layering black and white paper, I have established a new way of expressing paper cutting. In 2012, I moved to New York and began my artistic activities. In the same year, I held a solo exhibition at the prestigious Jadite gallery. I was interviewed by the New York Times and received high praise. In recent years, I have won an award at the World Exhibition of Japanese-French Contemporary Art (National Art Center, Tokyo), been selected for the Ecole de Paris exhibition (Place des Vosges, France), and was specially recommended for an exhibition at the Setubal Museum in Portugal, expanding the scope of my activities to the world. I announced a collaborative work with Theseus Chan in Comme des Garçons DM. In 2018, I changed my name from KROUD to Hirano Chiaki.

Profile
Biography
This work consists of a stack of white and black paper with the different cut ends. Humans have created new value by destroying nature only among animals. Insects gained wings in their bodies over 100 million years, but humans demanded new value from the outside by repeating destruction and creation. The value created will be destroyed, and the conversion to new value will begin immediately. This is the new form of evolution chosen by humans. In 2024, looking up at the city of Tokyo, the buildings that were created by the mechanical civilization are raging. It looks as if the city itself is breathing wildly as a life with a will. A creature that expands in a limited space and continues to change its meaning. As Darwin says, organisms that have begun to mutate will mutate without stopping. There is a certain beauty that is never completed. Dissipating energy while being an aggregate of inorganic substances. Tokyo is the evolution of humans.

Timeline
本作品は切り口の異なる白と黒の紙の重なりで構成されています。人は動物の中で唯一自然を破壊することで新しい価値を創造しました。昆虫は1億年の年月をかけて自己の体に羽を手にいれましたが人間は破壊と創造を繰り返すことで外部に新たな価値を求めました。創りあげた価値は壊され、すぐに新しい価値への転換がはじまります。これが人間の選んだ新たな進化の形です。2024年、東京の街を見上げると機械文明が生んだ建造物が乱立しています。まるで街自体が意志をもったひとつの生命として荒々しく息をしているように映ります。限られた区画の中で膨張し存在意義を変革し続ける生物。ダーウィンの言葉を借りるのであれば一度、変異を生じ始めた生物は留まることなく変異を繰り返すのです。完成することのないその姿にはたしかな美しさが内包されています。無機物の集合体でありながら漲るエネルギーの放出。白と黒の重なりにより生まれる造形を通じ人間が起こした進化の姿を表現しております。
