The charm of Nami Shibata's paintings lies in the way her brushstrokes allow us to feel the breath and movement of the artist’s whole body, the restrained use of color, and the stripped-down forms that emerge from them.
In this exhibition titled "Resolution", Shibata presents a series of works focusing on the human figure. Shibata, who contemplates the fluctuation of fiction and reality in paintings and stories through its imagery, depicts fictional characters who live in the world of theater, film, and fairy tales. These characters exist as paintings through her manipulation of resolution in terms of both idea and material.
To Shibata, painting is a medium for conveying ideas and stories, but at the same time, it is an object, an accumulation of paint that embodies her own physicality. As Shibata pursues a single stroke, asking what a painting can convey, she approaches the essence of painting from the viewpoint of resolution. Please look forward to it.
