Artist
Kyomori reinterprets the ornaments found in crafts and architecture as a visual language, and explores the nature of art in the post-colonial era, after the conceptual art movement. Kyomori is sympathetic to "the overwhelming visual density of human labor applied to the creation of ornaments". He sometimes incorporates the techniques of ceramics and dyeing into his painting, adding layers and layers of skill and manipulation to produce a single work of art. Kyomori confronts painting with this kind of handcrafted approach. This approach presents us, living in today's digitalized world, with an opportunity to reexamine the overwhelming quantity and materiality of objects and the fundamental human activity of creating something with one's own hands.
