Start swimming somewhere other than here

Takujira no Tale from the Utopia series No. 2

When I draw pictures, I like and use a lot of expressions that make use of chance as if randomly combining elements of various concepts and playing while composing on a screen.

An expression of something involving primitive and childish physicality before it was verbalized by reason.

As the number of such small scattered pictures is piled up one by one, two, it somehow starts to flow like a single story.

The production of paintings, which are in a different form from the usual three-dimensional works, has just begun.

I can't help but look forward to seeing what direction these little pictures will take in the future and what kind of world they will paint.

Just as three-dimensional elements have moved to a flat surface, the day will come when everything cultivated on a flat surface will one day be brought into three-dimensional modeling.

Similar to three-dimensional modeling, another institution has emerged where the work itself begins to circulate naturally.

This painting expresses the world of ephemeral light that sparkles in the dark.

Another world of shadows born from shining white sculptural works.

The theme is “white poetry,” and the serenity and signs before they become words are shaped as a landscape of light and shadow. The works are mainly sold at online stores. https://koki-art.jp Exhibit schedule 2026 July Osaka Ranbu (Special Exhibition) October Yamaguchi (special exhibition) December Tokyo (temporary exhibition), Karuizawa (solo exhibition) Manufacturing began in 2013. While searching for methods of expression, he experienced various fields such as metal carving, leather work, woodwork, and painting production, and established a three-dimensional modeling style through art exhibitions. Based on the concept of “lighting gentle light in everyday life” due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it became the current style of “three-dimensional modeling where lamps light up.” Since then, he has participated in many group exhibitions at major department stores and art spaces in Kansai and Kanto. I will be running an atelier and gallery in Kyoto for 2 years starting in 2023.
