Kouseki Ono
Kouseki Ono is known for his flat artworks composed of small towers of ink, made up of tiny dots with a diameter of a few millimeters printed hundreds of times on the same point over and over with different layers of colors using a technique called screen-print. The tower of ink changes its color dramatically depending on the angle of the viewer's line of sight. A large flat artwork displayed on the floor of Shiseido Gallery’s “art-egg” exhibition in 2009 is a typical work in this style.
Ono also began creating three-dimensional work using these towers of ink around the same time that he started his flat works. The artist calls this series “transplants”. In this method, he scrapes off towers of ink from the original prints and transplants the tower to another surface to make a different work of art. The first work created by this method was a series of works in which he applied towers of ink to the shells of cicadas, attaching them with tweezers.
This exhibition showcases new works from Ono's “transplants” series.
