Masayoshi NOJO: Creativity Within Tradition
Mirage #12
Cotton on panel, acrylic, silver foil, aluminum foil
During his studies, he became interested in collective memory.
His exploration of time and memory is achieved using an innovative variety of mixed media and other techniques.
Mirage #53
He selects mixed media, including photography, to eliminate the arbitrariness of creation.
He abstracts form and colors from photographs as the minimum constituent elements of image in memories.
Mirage #18
By disassembling and reconstructing his photographs with metal foils, the photographs, affected by both light and space transform into forms of faint existence, abstracting the factuality of photography.
With this unique process, he conjures a sense of deja-vu in the viewer, evoking their memories from deep within subconscious.
Masayoshi Nojo, born in 1989, completed his MA in Japanese Paintings in 2015.
It is a great pleasure to introduce this contemporary artist from Japan.
