清水智裕個展「Wonderlust」
2016.12/23 fri.-2107.1/22 sun.
Pon Ding　(台北）
opening reception 12/23 19:00-

Tomohiro Shimizu's art practice always includes a vague and surreal asethetic which sometimes gives people an impression of loneliness.
The world created by him can not be specified in any place or time.
It's almost as if we stray into an another planet by following his delicate and almost paranoid-like brushstroke.
According to the artist, this errie creation is generated by uncomfortable feelings from his daily perceiving.
For example, he would have forgotten daily events in a twinkling, or he would realize the fragility of justice that he has believed since begining.

Shimizu is born in Iwate, Japan in 1977.
Currently living and working in Tokyo.
He was a system engineer before he started painting.
He received BFA in oil painting at Tokyo University of the Arts in 2008.
Since then he has exhibited in Tokyo, NewYork and Singapore.
He received TAGBOAT Art Fes “Independent2016” (Grand Prix) this year.
〈漫遊派 Wanderlust〉at Pon Ding is his first solo show in Taiwan.
He will present new oil paintings and some drawings.

清水智裕的作品總是帶著一股奇異微妙、有點超越現實的美感，有時讓人覺得格外寂寞。
他所創造的畫中世界沒法確切地定義時空，彷彿觀者隨著他細膩到近乎偏執的筆法入了外一個星球。
根據藝術家的自白，這帶點奇異的畫作氛圍是來自於他從 日生活中所察覺的「不舒適的感覺」，
例如：某一個瞬間突然把當日的行程活動全部忘光，又如：突然發現從小到大自己深深相信的正義其實是如此脆弱。
清水智裕1977年出生於日本岩手縣，目前在東京工作、活動。
他開始進行繪畫創作之前是一位系統工程師，他在2008年於東京藝術大學取得油畫創作學士學位，從那之後，他曾於東京、紐約、新加坡等地展出。
近期清水智裕獲日本藝術平台TAGBOAT所舉 的Independet藝術節評審團獎項，此次〈漫遊派 Wanderlust〉於朋丁展出是他首次在台灣的個展，他將來帶來2016年尚未展出的全新油畫與隨筆作品。

The way someone sees the same scene can change based on the weather or the time of day.
By recording one moment, the photograph is used as a motif.
Whether it is projected on a physical photograph or through someone’s eye, light is the most important thing.
I think this can be applied to creating movies, which I’ll continue to do.
When using motifs, I take one part of the background from a picture and draw it.
Using this small finished part of the world, I want to create works where light is overflowing.
