Author's comment

Coordinating paintings wrapped in threads of paint with various materials. Weave a dramatic story born out of these relationships.

Judge's review

He pursues the possibilities of painting by layering paint, a fetish object, like fabric. The appeal of its closeness (=handmade work) and the otherness of its opposite (=techno/systems) are mixed together, and the future looks promising. The challenge is whether we can take on both approaches. (Shigeo Goto)
