Shoichi Seino
Shoichi Seino expresses the reaction between fire and materials in his sculptures by firing earth, stone, graphite, aluminum, etc. He is particular about natural forms, and through their simplest forms, he captures the moment of change in confrontation with fire. Seino's works transform the destructive power hidden in everyday materials into new substances as fine art, and reexamine the meaning of their existence.
Hiroshi Kotani
Hiroshi Kotani changes the white canvas from gray to black by layering charcoal powder, drawing lines, and scraping to add texture. The shapes that appear are diverse, including abstractions, landscapes, people, and animals, and are linked to "life and death" through the traces of lines and the accumulation of time. Through this production, he depicts a world that can only be expressed in black and white, and in color.
Kozy Kameya
Influenced by the flying celestial beings in Buddhist paintings he saw in his childhood, Kameya Mitsuji paints female motifs in pursuit of beauty. Through translucent skin and emphasized composition, he expresses communication in life and the exchange of emotions. The gestures in Kameya's works reflect expressions rooted in Japanese culture, such as eye, hand and dance movements.
