He has depicted such things as the scenes, people and plants that surround him, landscapes from his travel, fictional figures generated by AI and so on using his distinctive lines, forms, and colours.
This exhibition focuses on and a series of artworks centred on certain groups of people.
YATOJI said “People who queue up on station platforms or at New Year shrines with the same purposes have different thoughts in their mind such things as meals, shopping, events and conversation. When these varieties of consciousness gather into one place, there happens to be a sense both of slight chaos and of unity. Furthermore, a group of people becomes a massive organism beyond a group of individuals, as if they are no longer human, which appeals to our sense of mystery.”
This exhibition will show you his drawings and paintings which reveal the artist’s point of view. The first is based on his observations and thoughts above, while the latter is created by inspiration from drawings.
We hope you can enjoy seeing his latest expressions.
