・ About the collection of works

[Outline of work collection]
This collection of works is the second volume following the drawing collection "drawings" (WAITINGROOM) published in 2020. In addition to drawings, paintings and sculptures are included, and about 150 works from 2014 to the latest work are included. In painting, the strong touch like scratching and the layers of paint applied in multiple layers overwhelm what you see with vivid power. We paid particular attention to the saturation of the painting, which also uses a lot of fluorescent colors, to reproduce the colors. A comprehensive book that includes Mika Kuraya's essay focusing on the writer's view of the body from various perspectives, and the latest interviews covering the writer's childhood and future developments.
