Beautiful Image Core
by Cashi Contemporary Art Shima
Location: Cashi Contemporary Art Shima
Artist(s): Kazuki UMEZAWA
Date: 16 Jul - 14 Aug 2010

He is a young, promising artist with his distinctive production style. On the PC screen he cuts and pastes an enormous amount of images, which he collects on the Internet everyday, into one image, and then touches in the details with acrylic paints and pencils.

His work uses a lot of vivid RGB colors displayed on the PC screen and demonstrates a chimera-like clear and virtual world that repeatedly expands and constrict.
 
Starting with the "101 Tokyo Contemporary Art Fair 2009" held in Akihabara in April last year, he participated in the "100 Degrees Fahrenheit Vol.1", a group exhibition held in our gallery, and received the Tokyo Wonder Wall Award at the Tokyo Wonder Wall 2009 the same year. He participated in many exhibitions later on and showed his work in a group exhibition in New York in January 2010. His growth as an artist for the past one year has been outstanding.
 
In April, he participated in "Chaos*Lounge 2010 in Takahashi Collection Hibiya", fascinating the audience with his infinite creativity developed into a giant wall installation using all the walls in the back of the gallery.
Moreover, the mass media has often featured him, and actually he is the highest-profile artist among young peers in their 20s.
 
This exhibition will feature many of his new art pieces, mainly new large wall installations.
Umezawa himself will show up at a reception party on July 16, the first day of the exhibition. It would be great if you could drop by and enjoy the party.
