Mikito Ozeki
Third solo exhibition by Mikito Ozeki, an artist currently working out of his home city of Nagoya, Japan.
Recently, Ozeki has started to move towards the idea of freeing himself from the traditional concept of paper cutting, expanding his expressions to encompass more of a sense of three dimensionality. In his past series, Ozeki depicted a robot-like figure created using a gathering of shapes that resemble industrial pipes and materials. He started out making works like this by cutting a single piece of paper to produce an artificial life form. Soon, however, his style evolved to become more abstract and included the usage of layered colored paper so as to capture and frame particular mental states.
His most recent work, which was installed in the Facebook office in Tokyo, is comprised of a complex combination of layers of colorful organic parts that resemble organs. Although one aspect that Ozeki seeks through his practice is the physicality of paper cutting, it is also clear that he is mesmerized by lifeforms themselves. In his most recent series, he attempts to depict modules of life and combine them together. Discover his fresh approach to the traditional techniques and potential of paper cutting.
