I'm curious about the mysterious presence of the things that are arranged and decorated. I'm trying to figure out why I'm interested in it and why I should draw it.

Judge's review

If you look at this work while thinking about what a painting is, you will be reminded once again that its essence is not to simply reproduce an image. While appearing to realistically reproduce objects that can be understood in everyday life, his work shows remarkable expression in the deliberate combination of these objects and the breakdown that occurs when the left-right symmetry is subtly disrupted.
