JAPANESE
Yu Sugawara


Born of 1977 Japan in Saitama.

A design, an illustration, and pictures are studied in the design vocational school in Tokyo.
The lecturer is worked in this school now.

My work is centered on the mixed media of tempera and oil.
Metamorphosis is made into the theme of a principal axis and the exhibition is held centering on the Tokyo Ginza.

Metamorphosis of man is also mental visualization and is also suggestion to the so-called strangeness of humanity.
I think that the fusion to what is already known as what was hidden in the depth, and the thing which is not yet known as what will be cleared from now on is what shows our essential state.
A form is the system of a meaning and the form caught intuitively is correlated with something in our depth.

It is visionary, and to man, it will carry out without fantasy, and man will not be realized with him.
Although the pictures currently treated as a classic also have technical wonderfulness, yearning which has us there is held because it is already the one different world for present us.It has even a very present-matter.

I am wishing generation of the more appropriate view of the world in in more realistic fantasy, or the real world and the moral world.
