This exhibition presents the "painterly sculptures" of Japanese artist Koji Kamamoto, created using traditional metalworking techniques. Rather than applying paint, he utilizes the natural colors of metal to construct his compositions, allowing his works to exist in the space between painting and sculpture, forming a distinct visual language.
Kamamoto’s subjects range from figurative forms, such as the human body and horses, to fluid, ever-changing elements like water, flames, and smoke. His work seeks to blur the boundary between permanence and transformation, centering on the theme of "floating, ambiguous, and uncertain existence within time," exploring the fluidity and instability of being.
This exhibition features Kamamoto’s works in sulfurized brass, spanning from his early to recent creations. These pieces serve as records of their respective moments, reflecting the artist’s state of mind at the time of their making, capturing the traces that time leaves upon the metal surface.
