This event has ended.

Hiramatsu uses a unique technique called "Itae" to create his art. Itae involves applying paints on a wooden board. Hiramatsu is well-known for his attempts to push the limits of artistic expression by using fragments of his memories of the joyful details of his day to day life including his love for simple foods such as vegetables,fruits and loaves of bread. He also expresses his need to create by painting tools such as scoops, bolts, hammersand gloves. Essentially, Hiramatsu is interested in reminding viewers of the beauty of all aspects of objects in our daily life that we take for granted.

In NY Coo's upcoming exhibition entitled "Iroha Karta" in New York, Hiramatsu sends several messages to reinforce his desire to have viewers stop to appreciate the everyday beauty of the basic elements of life. For example, Hiramatsu asks us to consider the question: How many material goods does a person really need to live a life of true comfort and happiness? This exhibition offers viewers an opportunity to feel and share the artist's affection for ordinary things. Ultimately, Hiramatsu's works serve as a silent warning to society by informing us that true happiness in life requires focusing on the beauty of the basic aspects of our everyday modern way of life in a technologically overwhelming world.
