\u00b7overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a solo exhibition by Kengo Kito, an artist who is known for his diverse means of expression, including sculpture, painting, and photography, as well as large-scale installations that incorporate the colorfulness, rotation, and circulation of ready-made objects that are common in everyday life. increase.
For the installation work, "Lines", which was exhibited at the Kanagawa Arts Theater Atrium in 2022, was reconstructed for this exhibition. Using ready-made ropes and colorful 4m sticks, vertical lines are created with a direct sense of color that can be seen in Kito's paintings. The contrast between the rhythm of the colors and the straight lines echoes.
In addition, as a two-dimensional work, he presented a new work "cartwheel galaxy". Vivid strokes of paint come to life on the canvas, leaving traces of the title "Wheel". Fragments of mirrors are also scattered here and there, and depending on the angle of the lighting, it throws an unexpectedly sharp light. The multi-layered primary color paints and reflections on the glass create a unique pictorial space through their synergistic effect.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
