The Oracle Of The Monster

youkobo ART SPACE (Tokyo, May 2007)

_{︎︎︎ 　︎︎︎}

This solo exhibition was inspired by the Japanese folklore tale of Kudan, a half-human, half-cow monster who prophesies coming catastrophes. The exhibition was composed of new work in addition to pieces displayed at the Sompo Japan Fine Art Foundation in March of that year. At the time of painting, I was trying to express the latent hypocrisies of our abundant society, and the felt experiences by those tyrannized by it, through a conflict between color and brushwork. Today, our world is mired in countless problems, almost as if it were engulfed in a storm of clashing colors. In such a world, the Kudan monster seems useless.
