JUXTAPOZ – Koichi Sato “Sanctuary”
56 Henry I am pleased to present TeenagerInstallation by Kochi Sato. Sato is divided into two rooms, SATO works a beautiful face and discontent in the front room and slowly reveals itself through the interior of the teenager bedroom in the back space.
The front is filled with accurate and sensitive oil. In the model style of the artist, these works pay special attention to style and color, although this time colors are concealed and wrong styles. Wide eyes and hands with many tapes are rolled by a dream -like atmosphere. The delicate fogged layers of oil paint make this harem of beautiful women and boredom glow. Each of them bears his name, uniform, and expression, Sato can be able to instill each image with a unique personality, each one is attractive and cannot be violated in its own way.
Towards the rear end of the exhibition, leaving Sato’s works of intestinal paintings and Ennui. It is scattered throughout the room from ceramic sculptures of empty cigarette boxes and opened candy. Graphics and manufactured records are displayed by the artist in the maximum of the teenager room. Graphics explode with life: Pen -pencil strokes are the basis for patterns and topics, creating movement and chaos organized within them. The records, likewise, refer to the current album covers and the inclusion of swirls and patterns in a negative space.
In the graphics series, the artist’s references are much tight. Part of it are covered covers or scenes from nostalgia venues: Empire Records, Star Wars and Space Jam, for example. There is another group that is the Americana paintings, pictures and moments in a timely manner of every era: young boycotts full of known signs and signs, a middle -aged man standing near the shelf of books with a large appearance, an old rural music. Sato’s drawings and careful interest in detail and pattern are an optimistic reflection on American culture. The final group of business derives from traditional images in Japanese folklore. Similar to the printing and printing of the common wooden mass in the IDO period, the skeletons of dances, deities and beautiful women look at the battles against demons in densely -like books.
The artist unites the varying media through a consistent stylistic sound that is equal formal and strange parts. The Sato Worldview and Grousy for American Multiculturalism, produces a range of works that inspire and joy.
