T+review
The space created by the painting, which exudes a faint light, evokes the tranquil time before the sun rises at dawn. The subdued blue, which is hard to call navy blue, resembles the sky at dawn. The curtains painted in that blue remind one of the moment when one blinks and wakes up early in the morning, and looks through the gap in the curtains to see what's outside. The unique brushstrokes, which seem to have been pulled, move back and forth between photography and painting. The balloons, which appear to have been drawn from a photograph, and the painting, which seems to have been intentionally blurred. You can feel the artist's reality in both. Classical paintings create a sense of depth by applying thin layers of paint, but in this artist's work, you can feel the paints mixed together in a single layer. It seems to succinctly express the frivolity and chaos of modern times, and also to depict transience.
The title of the exhibition can be translated literally as "Daily Waves." What exists in each day is the artist's definite time. It may be something as fleeting as a photograph, or something so fast that it cannot be captured. There were a group of works there that quietly gazed upon things that pass by in a drifting time.
