A painting by Kazuki Takamatsu.


The“Sense of Distance” exhibition features artworks by Kazuki Takamatsu and Kanako Ozawa.


Influenced by media and subculture growing up, Takamatsu attended the department of oil painting at Tohoku University of Art and Design and graduated in2001. Takamatsu’s haunting black and white imagery explores narratives of death and society, through a unique depth-mapping technique that he developed, in which classic mediums such as drawing, airbrush and gouache painting are combined with computer graphics.


Ozawa graduated from the department of media art in Tokyo Polytechnic University in2010. She said:“In the course of my daily routine, I am always conscious of something that exists on the edges of the everyday, present yet difficult to grasp. This mysterious thing, when it reveals itself, has more of an air of truth than reality itself and is difficult for me to ignore. As much as possible, I try to naturally confront its existence. In addition to this, I strive to honestly respond to the light and dark that exists in the form of all living things. Through my art I do not intend for someone to share exactly the same image as myself. Rather, I strive to provoke a sense of this elusive presence in the viewer.


“To create a three-dimensional piece, a variety of art materials can be used. Lacquer is a natural material which comes from the resin of trees and resembles the blood that flows through us. You can feel its life force and will.”
