Work Details
details
MANABU KISHIMOTO questions categorization and depicts pure humanity by polishing layers of paint.
Race, gender, nationality, and appearance are among the elements that make up a human being, but they are only partial.
Since 2000, the society surrounding SNS has attempted to streamline understanding by categorizing and simplifying people.
However, human beings are built on contingency and gradations that cannot be categorized.
His works are created using the traditional Japanese lacquer technique called ``Togidashi''.
By wet-sanding the many layers of acrylic paint, the paint on the surface is polish, revealing traces of the layers of color underneath.
Using traditional Japanese techniques, he removes categorization and depicts an essential ``positive person'' stripped of all external elements through the act of scraping and removing layers of paint.

MANABU KISHIMOTO seeks to depict the very essence of human “existence” by scraping away layers of paint. His work applies the traditional Japanese technique of “grinding out,” using water to grind away layers of acrylic paint applied over and over. This reveals traces of complexly overlapping colors beneath the scraped surface. Through this act of “scraping,” he attempts to strip away boundaries drawn by society and attributes imposed later, revealing the pure essence of human existence—the simple fact of being. Born in Minamikawachi-gun, Osaka in 1990; lives in Tokyo Graduated from Rikkyo University, School of Contemporary Psychology, Department of Imaging and Physical Sciences
