Love is something transitory. And yet it takes the shape of a big love once people who cherish love come together as one, forming connections with each other. I wish the order that love forms envelop the whole world beyond borders, thus guiding us toward peace.
Eastern thought enlightens us about the idea that everything in this world is constantly changing its way of being, and hence not a single thing here is eternal. Then newly-emerged science introduced the concept of “it from bit,” thus suggesting that everything in this world derives from the information. The world encapsulated in these works has Eastern ideas and scientific ideas fusing in its backdrop. A Chinese character for “love” in the work is used as a motif that represents the order. There also are pigments that reflect light applied in some parts, which appears in our eyes differently depending on where the light comes in from.
KAZU TSUTSUMI is a painter who has studied engineering and science, and has experience in the research and development of technology and business. After studying the science of crystals at university, he has been interested in exploring the principles of form, and he began producing acrylic paintings around 2005, taking inspiration from his research.
Later, as he began his full-fledged artist activities, he realized that his life experiences had been related to this exploration, and decided to express the world that had come into view there.
He believes that the core of art is beauty. This is because beauty is not just superficially sophisticated, but because he believes that there are multifaceted elements that point in the direction in which “life” should go.The belief at the basis of his work is to make these diverse beauties visible.
