Korehiko Hino
Korehiko Hino has been creating dense paintings filled with tranquil madness by depicting unspeakably unstable human figures, such as large, downcast eyes, half-open mouths, infantile poses, and nude bodies wearing only white briefs, with precise depictions backed by technique.
In his solo exhibition “Model” last year, Hino presented a series of works in which he depicted people other than himself as models, moving away from his own body, which had been his motif for many years. By combining on a single canvas the different ways of looking at the model and himself, such as a bird’s eye view of the whole body from a distance of several meters and observation of the details from a closer distance, he showed a world view of the existence of the human body itself, which was highly acclaimed.
In this exhibition, “Window”, he continued the method of painting the model but moved the model, which had been painted under indoor lights, to a window with natural light. Painting a model in front of you in natural light means that in addition to the physical changes in the model’s own daily life, environmental factors such as the season, weather, and light conditions that change with time are intertwined.
In the past, Hino has created a sense of discomfort in the painting space by deliberately distorting the body, but in this new work, he has created a multilayered distortion in the painting by connecting the different time axes of the model’s physical changes and the changing natural environment in a single canvas.
