Masumi Nakaoka
Nakaoka creates space by capturing a part of a scenic image in a photograph, tracing its outline and replacing it with bright colours.
For this exhibition, Nakaoka constructs one picture by combining more than one hundred drawings, each measuring 36 cm2. Through this process of dividing up a dilapidated shed in the mountains and constructing it from one fixed point of view, compelling images behind the light reflecting off corrugated tin sheets, the rhythm created by cracks in the windows, and other features begin to arise from within. One may mistake the highly abstract tableaux exhibited in a separate room as having the same style as her previous works. Nakaoka explains however that the same subject was drawn from various viewpoints, not a fixed single viewpoint. By getting closer to the subject through multiple angles, her “conversion” and “interpretation” will become apparent.
