Shohei Yamamoto
A solo exhibition by Shohei Yamamoto, an artist who creates paintings using rollers to manually repeat paint.
Shohei Yamamoto creates paintings with a method of using original rollers to repeat iconographs and images, that are neither painted nor not painted. His new series Calcite on Myth, repeats paint mixed with grounded calcite, on top of photographs of sculptures from Greek Mythology that exude authority. The conditions for the artwork are pre-calculated from relentless experiments including simulations on computer and paints with different mixing ratios. By repeating the formulated paint with his roller, traces of a deteriorating pattern appear on the surface of the transferred iconograph.
