The keyword [Frame], the title of this exhibition, is a common element in the works of artists Kei Imai and Masahiro Masuda.
Kei Imai sprinkles pigments on the original medium of paint, and in the process of stretching it out with a squeegee, the pigments dissolve and mix with the pigments, fixing the phenomenon on the canvas. The accidental expressions are transformed by the viewer into known images, such as seascapes and skies. When they are divided into frames, they appear as geometric patterns or as photographs arranged side by side.
Masahiro Masuda's "Movies Series" creates images of overlapping and blurred paints by projecting images into his studio and re-photographing the space, then silk-screening the images onto the canvas. The canvas is painted in two directions, one with a clear image and the other with a dark area. Just as the vividly projected image is "fiction" and the dark atelier is "real" for the artist, the light and dark areas on the canvas are the frame that separates the fiction from the real world.
