Kozaki Masatake
The motifs most often depicted by Kozaki are unfamiliar or hybridised objects of human desire. He provides a frightening aspect of the contemporary world where the realisation of desires or ideals is not just a dream, but has become possible. On the other hand, some of his work depicts folkcraft objects, such as daruma or kokeshi dolls, which directly evoke the culture of this region. Kozaki has discovered a new world by applying his established style to the origins and backgrounds of local forms, rather than making work by selecting and combining such motifs. How does he interpret the contact points between the lost, utopian world of “Tougen” and this sense of reality? And how will this connect with viewers’ realities? This solo show marks Kozaki’s important step towards meeting such challenges.
