Koshiro Kihara
Artdyne is pleased to present Koshiro Kihara’s solo exhibition ‘Scene’ from 13 Jan (Sat) to 4 Feb (Sun), 2024.
Koshiro Kihara was born in 1997 in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, and completed his postgraduate studies in Fine Arts at Onomichi City University in 2022. He currently works with his twin brother Kenshiro Kihara in their joint studio in Hyogo.
Kihara consistently attempts to create a world where opposites intersect, such as ‘figurative’ vs. ‘abstract’, ‘fact’ vs. ‘fiction’, ‘moment’ vs. ‘eternity’, and pursues a new framework for painting. The works follow a production process in which the artist meticulously creates his own motifs out of clay and other materials, and uses carefully photographed images as the basis for oil paintings. The two-dimensional images created by the act of photographing sharpen the gap between what people normally see and what is expressed through the camera machine, with its misalignments, blurring and rough particles. By drawing from these photographed images, the figuration of the subject motif and the materialisation and abstraction of colour are developed on the same screen.
In contrast to her previous works with a certain ‘gravity’, the motifs in her new solo exhibition ‘Scene’ are painted with a transparency like cellophane paper and dance lightly on the screen. Just as Brancusi and other post-modern sculptors have attempted to break free from gravity, the exhibition space is expected to create a new relationship with ‘gravity’ in painting.
Twelve new works by Koshiro Kihara will be on display and for sale at this exhibition.
