Shohei Ochiai
This exhibition presents artwork that captures the essence of Shohei Ochiai’s life and brings together elements that shape his identity.
Through his paintings and drawings, Ochiai explores themes of daily life using motifs from household goods and toys. The dynamic and unpredictable structure, as well as the three-dimensionality expressed through Ochiai’s vision, possesses an overwhelming force for viewers. The pencil lines, drawn with powerful strokes, cannot be fully erased with an eraser. The retained strokes and corrections made through chigiri-e (collage-like) methods are the artist’s unique process of finding the “correct lines”. The analog process emphasized in the artworks, contrary to the modern digital society, prompts viewers to reconsider their relationship with everyday objects and themselves, bringing forth new perspectives.
The exhibition will present Ochiai’s largest painting to date, along with his latest projects featuring three-dimensional works. Additionally, inside the gallery, we will screen a documentary film that follows the artist’s creative process. As stated in the exhibition title, this is an exhibition that encompasses all aspects of Shohei Ochiai.
