A tale after a storm

I know Elks appear during the night time in Grand Canyon Valley.

I know there live knights on Marta Island.

We can easily gather various information even if we are not on the site.

I choose a pile of graphic images (from web sites or ads), make them into fragment pieces, and put those pieces together to create story-like works.

Story is a closed world that has the cause, the origin, the setting, and the beginning and the ending.

Painting is also a closed world that only exists on the surface of the canvas.

I create works with a sense of peeping into something like a story, which appears differently according to the way to combine motifs.

Painting is the world that you can see, but can’t step in.

It is the virtual world that you can’t step in, but can see (or peep into).

Painting is a world of an illusion. For that world, I draw the illusional story.

Story motifs are from things or views that I have encountered through media or have perceived.

Vast amounts of information flow in the media, and they appear and disappear like a storm.

My tale after the storm indicates the sense of gazing vacantly at the calm and a heap of rubble after the storm and the aftermath devastation.
