Oscar Oiwa
Oiwa is now exhibiting in Setouchi Triennale 2016 with two spots. At his newest work in Ogi Island, a traditional Japanese house has been transformed into an unexpected space with decorative screen painting. On the other site in Shodoshima Oiwa Island 2, visitors are invited to walk into the World’s largest drawing with black marker on a 12m diameter dome inside a warehouse for soy source in Tonosho Area. Oiwa travels a lot with a backpack to many corners of the earth often questioning his identity, both personal and artistic identity. The upcoming exhibit in Art front Gallery presents such broad viewpoints through more than fifteen paintings. Among them are the newest Giant Octopus 2 depicting Setouchi with use of gold leaf for the first time, Sumida River inspired by his stay in Tokyo, and Pinheiros River with his childhood memories. These seascape and planes looking down from oblique angle along the rivers seem to emphasize the artist’s belief that the world is one with universal light shedding equally on the earth.
