Nanami Inoue

By repeating the singular act of drawing lines, Inoue attempts to free the painting from being bound to the idea that a painting must necessarily be a drawing of something. Inoue’s physically repetitive actions may seem mechanical, but the more precise she aims to become, the more apparent it becomes that she is not a machine. This difference turns into a visual image through the tracks she leaves behind in her paintings. In an age where we are required to create 1 from 0, the inadvertent and slight differences that make up Inoue’s works allow us to become aware of the infinity that lies between 0 and 1.
