Artist’s profile
NISHIOKA Koji, Score CHOPIN, 2009, Collection of atelier CORNERS, Courtesy of CORNERS
Born in Osaka Prefecture in 1970. An early member of Atelier CORNERS (Osaka Prefecture) founded in 2005. After a piano and sheet music were gifted to the facility, NISHIOKA Koji began transcribing music in a richly emotionally style, his lines running far off course in a distinctive way or overlaid to make them thick and dark. Nishioka even now continues to transcribe sheet music songs he likes, seemingly absorbed in memories of the classical and anime songs he enjoyed in his childhood. His main exhibitions include the 2015 “Art Brut Live, abcd collection,” DOX Centre for Contemporary Art (Czech). His work is collected by Art brut connaissance & diffusion, France, and other cultural organizations.

This exhibition focuses on the unique expressive world of a limited monochrome color palette. Featured are works employing drawing tools such as charcoal, pen, and needle as well as works employing materials rarely used for drawing, such as wire, and works whose image emerges from inscribed words and icons. How broadly and deeply can we discover the meaning of “depiction” in a varied range of works displaying strong contrasts as a result of narrowing down the options?
