From everyday scenes
When I walk, I usually look at the flowers along the roadside. Because of this, my eyes naturally look down, but when I look up, I realize that there is an inorganic 3D world that is completely different from the roadside.
Naturally, whether you're at home or outside, you're in a 3D world. What kind of world would you see if you made that 3D world into a 2D (flat) world? I remembered thinking the same thing 30 years ago and actually drawing it... At that time, I made the 3D world I created into a 2D (flat) world, but I wonder what kind of world would appear now...
Everyday scenery... a 3D world made into a 2D (flat) world. I tried placing the colors of flowers blooming on the roadside into that 3D world.
The visible and the invisible, the visible and the invisible. Here we can see our own existence.

About Marie Gallery
Marie Gallery is a gallery in Nihonbashi, Tokyo. This is the Tokyo store of Gallery Kozuka, which has been in business for 45 years in Nagoya. Artists who have worked with the first generation of Gallery Kozuka and artists of the same generation as the second generation will present contemporary art throughout Japan and the world.
By linking both the Tokyo and Nagoya galleries, we will mainly handle artists active in the three prefectures of the Tokai region, mainly in Nagoya. We will also discover and introduce talented artists from Japan and abroad.
We will also hold exhibitions and workshops so that children have more opportunities to come into contact with art.
