Shinya Imanishi
1990, born in Nara, Japan.
Graduated with a Master Degree from Kyoto University of Art and Design.
Shinya Imanishi creates his paintings by skillfully overlaying layers of oil paints, and repeatedly scraping them off while leaving the traces of the brush strokes. While the details of the materials come to the fore when looking at them at close range, images of degeneration and demise, such as a crashed airplane, a fallen camellia, a blooming firework suddenly emerge into view once the viewer takes some distance. At the same time, within the clear lines and the heavy pale lumps, these images also tend to evoke themes of regeneration and new beginnings, expressing the fact that life and death are always inextricably linked together. They present the ambiguity and uncertainty of the facts and events about which we share a common understanding when exploring the relationship between material and image, as well as viewpoint and distance.
