Kenichi Nakaya
When Kenichi Nakatani announced his three-dimensional work "Glitch Raccoon Dog" on his SNS, it attracted a great deal of attention, garnering more than 100,000 favorites on Twitter. The motif of the work is a Shigaraki-ware raccoon dog figurine, which has been popular for its good-luck properties but has recently become rare. The artist boldly reconstructs it in a three-dimensional expression, showing it while incorporating "glitch effects," digital disturbances such as noise and screen turbulence, into the technique of the work.
In addition to "Glitch Raccoon Dog," this exhibition introduces various three-dimensional artworks such as "Effect Beckoning Cat" and "Brick Bear." In addition, the title "Kyowai Mingei" was named by the artist as an attempt to convey his will by changing its form while being emptily distorted over such a long period of time. Floating between the past and the future through nostalgic motifs, this series of works give each viewer the sensation that his or her brain is performing a correction process. With the handmade digital bugs, the warmth of three-dimensional objects, and the cyberpunk sense of the future, each person feels differently, further boosting the freedom of how to enjoy the art.
Disappearing "folk art" is now attracting attention again in various places. However, there is a sense in which old-fashioned folk art is both desirable and difficult to display. With this exhibition, visitors will be able to enjoy up-close the artist's ideas and methods of transforming folk art into art, blending craft and industry, analog and digital, the past and the future with perfect moderation.
