Manabu Endo
Manabu Endo's works feature animals and trees drawn with meticulous detail in ballpoint pen against backgrounds reminiscent of picture scrolls and narrative paintings. Since he began painting seriously as a self-taught artist, his skillful technique and delicate sensibility have given rise to a powerful and beautiful style that captivates viewers. In recent years, his work has gained attention in Japan and internationally, particularly through social media and the internet, making him an increasingly anticipated artist.
Endo's works often present elements seamlessly connected in backgrounds reminiscent of moss spreading in a forest. Each element subtly transforms into different motifs, creating a continuous flow. For example, what may be initially perceived as an animal seamlessly integrates with clouds or plants, appearing as if a natural part of their existence. With a delicate touch, Endo beautifully expresses the energy of the natural world, which holds gentle and harsh, conflicting expressions, using animal figures as the focal point.
His works, rooted in the consistent theme of Endo's art, showcase various motifs that seamlessly blend and transform, creating a sense of unity and interconnectedness. The exhibition's main focus, "Spirits Planter VI Kaikou," centers around the moment of interaction, whether it be conflict, negotiation, or mating. The main pieces, "Kaikou no Tei" and "Kaikou no Mou" feature a wolf and a deer, symbolizing the precarious position between life's burdens and liberation into nature. Their silent yet powerful presence evokes a deep sense of history and the resilience required to survive in the harsh natural world.
By capturing these moments, Endo enhances the significance of the depicted animals while skillfully expressing the tolerance, cyclical nature, threats, and beauty inherent in the natural world, all qualities he seeks in his artwork.
