Work Details
Medium, acrylic, lacquer spray, and poster-color marker on canvas
Kobayashi is always exploring various styles of painting. Being prolific, his technique continues to evolve as if driven by his chain of work that unfold as series. Resemblances to modern painting can be found within the street essence; a sense of editing as if to shuffle an image by program can also be felt in his work. I have hopes for Kobayashi to establish unique compositions and installation-like presentation methods, as he pushes his exploration even further.

I engage with the concepts of layers and taste in my practice. Information gains depth through multi-tiers of layers; I believe that the noise (misalignment of information) that is generated through this process, obscures the absoluteness of a single meaning and adds room for interpretation. By clouding the viewer’s visual information, their sense of perception and judgement (taste) is challenged. I attempt to express this sense that persistently comes with choosing and reconstructing, by purposefully adding complexity to the information that is presented. Across three series, the work explores painting through different structural approaches. Spray-based layering examines how changes in speed and paint output generate visual effects. Performative painting emphasizes bodily movement and its tension with academic discipline. Another series focuses on discarded information in an over-saturated society, treating it as living matter and framing painting as an act of remembrance Art.

「レイヤー」と「センス」を主題に制作している。情報は多層的なレイヤーを通して深みを持つが、その過程で生じるノイズ＝情報のずれがその一義性を曖昧にし、解釈の幅を与えると考える。作品を通じて、鑑賞者の視覚情報をあえて混濁させることで、彼らの知覚や判断に対する感性＝「センス」を問いに付す。こちら側から提示する情報をあえて複雑化することで、選択することや再構成することとに付き纏う「センス」を表現しようとしている。
