渡辺敬介

• Keisuke Watanabe lives and works in Kyoto, Japan.

 

A master draughtsman is well known for his erotic drawings which look to portray the energy of his models through dynamic bodily movement. The artists’ work explore passages of time, revealed in the intuitively selected moment.

 

Being a professional musician, Watanabe perceives painting through his musical experience. His art is born from classical music and develops under its constant influence. His wish to explore the different states of the human body in motion, its sensual appeal is satisfied by extemporaneous sketching on the spot. The artist always works with a live model and creates his paintings in a quick tempo, as if catching the thought in the air. Therefore, in the drawings we see usually a pure experience, sensation unclouded by temporary optics.

 

 

 

來迦結子 

• Yuiko Ráyka  lives and works in Kyoto, Japan.

 

The light work is an interactive and creatable installation work that viewers can create by themselves.

The viewer uses a flashlight to shine the light on reflective materials  installed in the exhibition room, and the illusionary reflections are projected on the walls. This action and phenomenon is called "Selfverse" in this work. The "Selfverse" is the viewer's own world of infinite possibilities.

 

Once the flashlight shines on the reflective materials, the viewer will be pleasantly surprised by the beautiful scene that suddenly appears, as if by magic. The viewer can freely rearrange the reflective materials to update his or her "Selfverse".

 

The artist focuses on our creativity. We are now entering a new era. Having experienced a number of hardships, the artist believes that we are called upon to evolve spiritually for the new era. For this purpose, one of the most important things is the creativity that each of us possesses. This work may stimulate the viewer's creativity and encourage the viewer to rediscover and expand upon the wonders of his or her own potential.
