Hayato Sakaguchi
Hayato Sakaguchi was born in Shiga Prefecture in 1995 and graduated from the Illustration Department of Kyoto Seika University. Currently based in Saitama, Japan, Sakaguchi is actively engaged in creating artwork, holding solo exhibitions, and participating in numerous group exhibitions.
Sakaguchi's paintings start with image searches on the Internet using various keywords, such as words, motifs, places, and scenes that come to mind. Depending on the mood of the day, he spontaneously picks up images from the file, stretches, overlaps, repeats, cuts, and pastes them like a collage, and transforms them in various ways, improvising on the canvas. The artist improvises on the canvas by stretching, layering, repeating, cutting, and pasting like a collage.
The motifs Sakaguchi selects from all over the world - photographs, illustrations, animals, landscapes, statues, scenes from films, and even figurines from his room - are all different worlds and textures, but by elaborately drawing and composing them, the boundary between digital and painting is blended, and they are successfully The work becomes a painting. Sakaguchi says that while he repeatedly selects images at random and paints intuitively, the images he selects are inseparable from his memories and judgments, and he does not realize the difference in his awareness until after the work is completed.
The works, created with a unique technique, are an inquiry into the nature of the contemporary medium of painting, and can also be seen as a record of memories and moments that would otherwise be lost and lost if not preserved as paintings, as Sakaguchi's inner world is visualized like a diary.
At the exhibition, approximately 20 two-dimensional works, mainly new paintings, will be presented. We hope you will enjoy his latest works, which are not bound by the concept of painting but are created with his unique sensibility and through his honest pursuit of art.
