On deep green-colored support, square objects covered with gold leaf are rhythmically installed. When he visited Zen temples in Kyoto inspired by "MOSS GARDEN", a song by a rock musician, he was strongly impressed by Hojo North Garden in Tofukuji Temple, a moss garden of checkered pattern. While the garden designer Mirei Shigemori tried painterly expression in the garden by moss and cut stones, Kamikawa expressed the atmosphere on the flat artworks as a garden on a wall.
Although Kamikawa has painted soil colored "THE WALL Series" on the theme of the Chikuho region for a long time,
he pursues the possibility of flat artworks by painting Japanese aesthetic sensibility in MOSS GARDEN.
Enjoy the new world of Shin Kamikawa.
