Art Brut 2022 Touring Exhibition
Form, Fluid and Flexible——Varied Materials, Diverse Expression
【Venue 1】
Exhibition Overview
The Japanese word katachi (form) can mean appearance, shape, or design, or even the state of things. Katachi has many meanings, and its nuance in each case is expressed with a different Chinese character (〈形〉〈容〉〈象〉〈貌〉). This exhibition presents artworks that differ in form, in the many ways that katachi differs in meaning.
The artists display special character in their handling of their motif—simple and strong repeatedly-drawn shapes, for example, or fine lines used in delicate drawings. Their works, in every case, are highly original. Another feature of the exhibition, along with the artworks’ visual fascination, is each work’s deep connection with the artist’s everyday life—the story of its creative process, the choice of what to draw and the materials to use. Our surprise at seeing colored pencil, color pen, fabric, thread, leaflets—familiar everyday things—take an appearance entirely unlike our expectation opens our eyes to the diverse expression possible beyond the merely technical. Creation and everyday life are inseparable, we are reminded. Through the artwork, we see the artist intently pursuing creation and follow the tracks of his or her progress. At that moment, what new form will come alive in our mind?
