Osaka Takashimaya Department Store, 6th Floor Gallery NEXT / 1st Floor Front Stage
Ten years ago, I began creating abstract paintings without using brushes. When I pour diluted acrylic paint onto a tilted and fixed canvas, the pigment flows and drips across the surface, and its trails settle onto the canvas over time. Furthermore, by rotating the canvas, I break free from the laws of physics, creating a colorful space woven by paint and gravity. In conjunction with my solo exhibition at Gallery NEXT on the 6th floor, I will also be exhibiting works at the Front Stage on the 1st floor. Demonstration painting and participatory workshops will be held in the event hall on the 7th floor.
