About the event
|Artist statement|
"My aim is to "draw what I see as I see it" and what is depicted in my works is not the structure of the object I see, but my own visual reaction itself. While conducting visual research in line with this purpose, I found it difficult to capture the three-dimensional object of the landscape in front of me through painting, so I decided to calmly check my own information processing using a two-dimensional object. At some point, I started using photography in my productions. Initially, he used photos and mugshots he had taken himself. Over time, as AI technology around the world improved and it became possible for even a single individual to easily output images with photographic precision, images generated by oneself were also subject to observation and depiction. Currently, with the spread of AI technology, various debates are heating up regarding the originality and reality of information presented in reality. However, as I observe the scenery, photographs, and generated images as objects in one glance, I do not question these boundaries, and through me, the information is homogenized into ``what is seen and drawn.'' The same is true for those who appreciate the subject (work). In this exhibition, I deliberately focused on the nature of the questionlessness of reality that occurred in the form of research, and created a group of works that were conscious of presenting this."
