Yu Nishimura
Using various images of everyday life, close-ups of people, birds, cats, fruits, etc., Yu Nishimura constructs a single painting by intricately superimposing fragments carved in the depths of memory on canvas.
In this exhibition, as well as the works drawn with Nishimura’s previous work style, which consisted of transparent colors and layers of outlines, we will be able to see more abstract works with dense colors and clearly defined boundaries. Nishimura’s attitude that “I want to capture the actuality of people and objects by depicting their outer forms by rendering it like silhouettes” is more clearly reflected in this development. He also aims to express “time that is not perceived” and “multiple different times” in a single space in this exhibition. Whatever the motifs that appear in the works, be they people, cats, birds, insects, cars, boats, or soccer balls, each has its own subjective time that exists and coexists with them.
Nishimura says that October, which is the title of the exhibition “Around October,” is “a season of change and instability” and that it is the most “fitting” season for him. It is neither hot nor cold, or it can be hot and cold. “Around October” is such an ambiguous season, and because of its imperfection, it allows for imagining something that is not explicitly stated.
