Akira Ikezoe "Space as Protagonist"
Esso Gallery
This event has ended.
With tiny, woven, muscular figures of people, trees and animals, as well as miniscule representations of flowers and fire flames, Akira Ikezoe creates textile-like patterns on the surface of his paintings and brings to each piece a whimsical and rhythmic essence. His gentle aesthetic and harmony are, in fact, the result of a well-calculated technique and scheme. Among all the objects in his paintings, it is the figures that stand out with an almost three-dimensional quality produced by his unique technique. Removing already applied background color with solvent, Ikezoe produces extraordinary subtlety in the resulting lines. The erased spaces appear as human figures and no longer exist as supporting factors, but become central to Ikezoe’s art.
