【Exhibiting Artists】
Hanako Kimura
Born in Kyoto and currently lives in Osaka. Graduated from Doshisha University, Faculty of Letters, Department of Aesthetics and Art. Photographer.
UNKNOWN ASIA 2018 Grand Prix.
Awarded the 16th Photography "1_WALL" Jury's Encouragement Prize (selected by Atsumi Kikuchi).
He regularly creates works on the theme of touching the vast gray zone that lies between the two extremes of "existence" and "non-existence" with the help of photography. In recent years, he has been working not only with photography, but also with three-dimensional works, drawings, and installations.
https://digmeout.net/artists/hanako-kimura/
Saki Matsumura
He completed his master's degree in painting at Kyoto University of Art and Design in 2017.
Selected for "Turner Acrylic Gouache Biennial 2017" and "Tokyo Wonder Seed 2017." Combining acrylic painting, silkscreen, and stencil, he attempts to visualize abstract concepts in his paintings with complex layers and three-dimensionality.
The expression that creates the illusion of a relationship between the earth and the figure, and the matiere that emphasizes the unevenness of the surface by spraying, create a gap between the viewer's perception and the reality, making the viewer aware of the distortion of his or her perception.
https://dmoarts.com/artists/saki-matsumura/
Taisuke Kondouh
In 2018, he graduated from Kyoto University of Art and Design, Graduate School of Art and Design, Painting Area.
He creates works by confronting the screen with the unique human elements of memory and emotion, converting them into the energy of "color. On the screen, where space is divided by the color plane, the complex inner feelings of people are condensed, creating images that seem to resonate with each other. He uses a method of production in which he fills syringes with mediums and acrylic paints, which he has calculated and blended in advance, and injects them onto the canvas through needles.
https://dmoarts.com/artists/taisuke-kondouh/
Masaya Daito
Kyoto Seika University Graduate School is currently enrolled.
At first glance, Daito's sculptures are made of materials that are recognizable as glass bottles, but they are no longer inorganic industrial products, but rather organic and life-like forms of the human body.
The inside of the kiln, which cannot be intervened by a third party, is regarded as a single cosmic space, and the artist expresses a new point of view by deforming it by chance according to the laws of nature, that is, the nature of glass that melts at high temperatures and the force of gravity.
https://digmeout.net/artists/masayadaito/
Kurumi Kotani
In 2019, he will graduate from Kyoto University of Art and Design, Graduate School of Art and Design, Painting Area.
He creates paintings on the theme of relationships, signs and traces of existence.
In her signature series of paintings, "21g," the entire screen is envisioned as a "window," with traces of someone's touch on the condensed glass surface. Her interest in mystical and supernatural phenomena has led her to create paintings reminiscent of scenes from horror films, bringing to the surface the presence of an unseen and uncertain entity.
https://digmeout.net/artists/kurumi-kotani/
Jasmine Noda
Born in 1996 in U Thai, Thailand and came to Japan in 2003. Ceramic artist.
He will receive the President's Award at the Kyoto Seika University 2019 Graduation and Completion Works Exhibition for "Memory Swan 04/Prayer," which was created on the theme of the landscape of his home country, religion and crafts, ceramics and contemporary art.
He established HAKUHA PROJECT, which presents the form of ceramic art in line with the times while creating art works with ceramics as a craft. He is also an art producer.

https://digmeout.net/artists/riya/
Sakurako Fujii Graduated from Kyoto University of Art and Design, Department of Information Design in 2018. Illustrator and graphic designer.
Colorful brush strokes symbolizing physicality and black-and-white lines designed on data evoke the relationship between melody and rhythm.
This rich "form" expressed through a back-and-forth between analog and digital forms is integrated with the intricately and intuitively drawn figures, and expresses the beauty of the body itself, transcending decoration.
https://digmeout.net/artists/sakurako-fujii/

The group consists of Uki (painting and design), Shun (painting and illustration), and Toshio (video and sound), and their main performance work is a combination of live painting and projection mapping.

The theme of the "Sedimentation Series," which involves multiple dripping of white base material, is sedimentary life.
The corals that make up the Shirahama beach in his hometown of Okinawa, which presents a major question to the artist's own idea that circulation is life = the "accumulation" of life and death. It shows that our activities and the cycle of life are based on the "accumulation" of all kinds of foundations.
https://digmeout.net/artists/shoko-chigira/

Haruka Kanzaki Solo Exhibition “ON THE WAY BACK HOME”
2019. 6. 14 Fri. - 2019. 6. 27 Thu.
2019 6/14 Fri. - 6/27 Thu.
10:00-21:00(Closes at 6:00 p.m. on the last day only)
Reception Party 6/15 Sat. 19:00-
Gallery Talk 6/15 Sat. 19:00-
DMOARTS is pleased to present "ON THE WAY BACK HOME," Haruka Kanzaki's second solo exhibition at DMOARTS, following last year.
Kanzaki is a designer / illustrator based in Tokyo.
The rhythm of the sharpness and blotting of the ink is pleasantly rhythmic, and the artist draws up a fresh and light depiction of the mundane.
Last year, he participated in the art book "digmeout 07" and has been involved in various commissioned works.
The works expressed in this exhibition are based on stories that came to the artist's own mind.
It's like something you've seen before for everyone, or seen on your travels.
For some, it is on the way to somewhere, and for others, on the way home.
We hope you will enjoy the stories that fold over and over in the days that follow.
[Artist Statement]
It is a Saturday morning at the beginning of April. Another all-night day is over, and I open the window that has been closed for days. On the TV, which I had left on instead of a clock, the weatherman or announcer is excitedly talking about the early summer weather.
Before I know it, the cherry blossom season is over, and my winter clothes, which have not been put away, are cramped and shriveled up in the corner of my bed.
Woman. It's so warm, I wish I could go to the beach, or if I didn't have a deadline today, I'd totally go to the beach," I mutter to myself as I push the scraps of paper on the floor into the trash.
Next scene. The woman is in a car crossing a bridge. The windows are fully open and loud music is playing in the car. She is wearing sunglasses, so we cannot see her expression, but she is humming a tune.
I painted this exhibit, wondering what would happen.
Where are you going?" I want to travel endlessly, saying things like, "Umm, I'm on my way home." If I get bored, I can just come back.

Ryoki Kurasaki Solo Exhibition “Traces Of The Soul

2019.5/17 Fri. - 5/30 Thu.

Reception Party 5/18 Sat. 18:00-
Gallery Talk 5/18 Sat. 19:00-
DMOARTS is pleased to present "Traces Of The Soul," a solo exhibition by Ryoki Kurasaki.
Kurasaki paints portraits based on oil paintings and burns the eyes of the painted figures. He attempts to pursue the reality of the painted motifs by using the phenomena and materials generated by burning the canvas, the exposed space, and the compositional elements of the canvas itself.
In this exhibition, the "Traces Of The Soul" series, which expresses life and the soul with soot and burn marks created by burning canvas, and the "Blindness" series, which expresses how we face death and our attitude toward it in today's society, where death is far away, by blurring the motif of the dead and burning their eyes. Blindness" series will be exhibited. This is the first solo exhibition in Osaka by the artist, who has been well received at UNKNOWN ASIA and ART OSAKA. We hope you will take this opportunity to visit the exhibition.
[Artist's Statement]
Fire has often been a metaphor for life.
This is because the "burning while consuming fuel" of a flame is similar to the "feeding while active" of humans, and the "extinguishing" of a fire is associated with "death," among other things.
By incorporating fire into my work, I attempt to approach the reality of the motifs depicted.

DMOARTS is pleased to present the first solo exhibition of Tsukue Akimoto.
Akimoto Tsukue has attracted attention at UNKNOWN ASIA with his strange, derealized, stateless, and overwhelming presence, and has expanded to other Asian countries. We hope you will enjoy his triumphant return to the exhibition with tremendous support.
During the exhibition, a zine-making workshop by the artist is also scheduled.
[Artist's Statement]
Strange, Bizarre, Kitsch, Mondo, Cheap. I hope to create something with an indescribable atmosphere that these adjectives do not suffice to describe.
The dizzying feeling you get when you see a sign in a foreign travel town that looks like it can't be read. Daily necessities with an unbelievable sense of color. The texture and taste of something sweet or spicy or whatever. A novel and fascinating smell that you have never smelled before.
There is a pleasure in travel in the unknown and the unknowable.
I would be happy if you could enjoy the mixed atmosphere of the objects with such a traveling mood.
[ZINE making workshop]
Printed materials and clippings collected from different countries come to DMOARTS from the workshop of Akimoto Tsukue!
Why not create your own wonder book, just the way you like it?
No rules, just use your creativity and have fun!
May 3 - May 7, 2019 Writers in the gallery, paid as they go
Participation fee 1,500 yen (tax not included)

Saki Matsumura Solo Exhibition “chi to zu”
2019. 4. 19 Fri. - 2019. 5. 17 Fri.
Saki Matsumura, whose latest solo exhibition "the eyes: they see" will be held at DMOARTS, will simultaneously hold a solo exhibition "the earth and the figure" at H.P.FRANCE WINDOW GALLERY MARUNOUCHI in Marunouchi, Tokyo.
Saki Matsumura constructs multi-layered screens using various techniques such as stencil and silkscreen.
The title of this exhibition is taken from the book by E.J. Rubin, a psychologist who proposed "Rubin's vase," which is a representative example of Gestalt psychology. One of the concepts described in the book is that people cannot perceive things that extend uniformly to their field of vision, and that they perceive shapes only when there are two dissimilar regions. These two areas are divided into "figure" and "ground," with "figure" emerging as a form and "ground" as its background. There is no clear motif in Matsumura's works. However, after viewing his works, a strong image remains in the viewer's mind. This is the result of his careful selection of the elements of his works, such as the fine texture of the materials, the rubbing of the paint, and the unevenness in certain areas, and his painstaking composition, which sometimes inverts the relationship between the ground and the figure.
We hope you will take this opportunity to visit the exhibition.

Saki Matsumura Solo Exhibition “the eyes: they see
2019. 4. 19 Fri. - 2019. 5. 02 Thu.

Gallery Talk 4/20 Sat. 19:00- listener:Ryo Takahashi(DMOARTS)
DMOARTS will hold a solo exhibition of Saki Matsumura for the second time in a year.
Matsumura is a painter who attempts to visualize abstract concepts. The white lines that appear in many of his works are actually blank spaces on which nothing is drawn. By depicting the surrounding shapes and colors, Matsumura expresses the human act of reading information from signs that are never concretely verbalized, as well as the space between the lines.
The works presented in this year's exhibition show a richer and more colorful expression compared to last year's exhibition. Through various exhibitions and commissioned work, the artist has evolved from the rigid world of monochrome to a unique and playful depiction.
The title "The eyes: they see" is made up of two words in an anagram relationship.
Like letters whose meanings can be changed by rearranging them, Matsumura's questions about visible phenomena and his insatiable search for the unseen are sure to be enjoyed by all.
