Masato Akai
Until now, Masato Akai has mainly produced and presented two-dimensional paintings, but for this exhibition, he will present black woodcarvings of various sizes.
Once carved, Akai boldly burns the carvings to carbonize the surface of the piece, then applies further carvings or embeds stones, and then repeatedly polishes to complete the work.
The black figures, standing quietly, are reminiscent of demons said to be lurking in the deep mountains of Yoshino, or of Shugendo monks wandering along the path of the beasts.
