Kosuke Ichikawa first encountered painting during his itinerant travels around the world and began creating works of art in a self-taught manner using a variety of expressive methods.
Since then, he has broadened his range of expression and honed his skills in music, video, and other activities through interactions with diverse artists.
He continues to create works by extracting landscapes that touch the latent memories in people's brains, such as landscapes he saw in his childhood, clock faces, junk, insect specimens, loading screens on social netoworks, and noises on T V. He has also been creating works that are based on his own personal experiences.
This exhibition will feature Ichikawa's "Senko-ga" series, in which he uses a variety of incense sticks of different thicknesses and temperatures to burn and burn the paper, which led to the popularization of his work.
Ichikawa's method of burning and scorching incense to create gradations of burnt color matches the fragile and hazy themes of "memory” and "time," creating a one-of-a-kind world of strong and delicate paintings.
