Work Details
Cherry Pie II was created during a period of psychiatric hospitalization.
While thinking about life after discharge, I recalled the cherry pie that appeared in Twin Peaks, which I had seen several years earlier, and found myself wanting to try it. This drawing was made while imagining that still unrealized moment.
Although the motif is small, it holds a sense of moving toward life outside the ward, as well as an anticipation of a future yet to come. Rather than functioning as a symbolic image, it is presented as an image placed in order to connect with a reality that could not yet be touched.
This work was created on mixed media paper using crayon and watercolor pencils. After drawing, the surface was partially reworked with a wet brush to produce subtle bleeding and layering of color.

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.
