The works incorporate the unique softness of analog colors, blurriness, and blurriness in scenes that we all come into contact with in our daily lives. The works are imbued with a pale tone that somehow lacks reality, yet everything reflected in the works is manifested as an equivalent existence.
Thoughts (for me, eyes) are flying faster and faster, and my pictures are abstracted,
It can be just a color.
It can be just a formality.
. and there is a space created that increases the possibility of resonance with others.
(......)
More and more abstract,
. more and more concrete.
He said that this is a picture of the in-between.
March 2023 Kazutetsu Matsuoka
This exhibition will feature works taken during the 2020-2023 Corona Disaster.
The exhibition space is a place where visitors can experience Matsuoka's record (memories) of the daily lives of people who have continued to turn their lenses toward the everyday, even in a society where connections with others have been cut off. We hope you will take this rare opportunity to visit the venue.
