Yuta Ikehara
His work is based on Eastern themes such as rebirth and reincarnation. He depicts a world where animals, plants, manmade objects, noise, etc. coexist as a metaphor evoking the natural world and human society. Using collages of paintings, photographs, images, textures, etc., he expresses the way all things circulate as one in a great current. He believes that everything is in a process of decay and rebirth, and finds value in that process.
