Work Details
View from the Hospital Ward I is a work that depicts the sensation of seeing the outside world after spending a period of time in a seclusion room.
Stepping out from a nearly empty space and encountering light and color, the world suddenly felt expanded. In the distance, Higashiyama Sky Tower was visible—its vertical line quietly suggesting the vastness beyond the confined interior. I tried to preserve the longing and sense of release that arose in that moment, without exaggeration, keeping the distance as it was.
This work was drawn in a sketchbook using crayons and watercolor pencils provided during hospitalization. The wrinkles created by layering watercolor and the physical traces left on the paper remain visible; these marks are considered part of the work, materially conveying the time and environment in which it was made.
Rather than emphasizing a dramatic narrative, the piece presents the light of the outside world glimpsed after a period of confinement as a quiet landscape.

Artist
Painter
Born in Yokohama in 1995 and raised in Iwakura and Nagoya, Aichi. Kiichiro Kobayashi graduated in Oil Painting from Musashino Art University in 2018.
Since high school, he has explored how perception changes the appearance and value of things. His graduation project, Real Clothes I–III, combined fabric dyed from photographic pixel data with images drawn from observation, examining multiple aspects of a subject and links among memory, perception, materials, and process.
In 2020, The Rooster was selected as a finalist for the 22nd “1_WALL” Graphic competition. Based on differences between human and avian color vision, it examined how different perceivers experience different worlds.
Through painting, drawing, and digital media, Kobayashi explores how different worlds arise through perception. Using memories, dreams, and psychological experiences, he examines how meaning, judgment, and reality are formed and reconfigured through restrained lines and colors, materials, and repetition.
