”Red, Vermilion, Scarlet - ONSEN Beppu”
Takahiro Kojo/OitaFor Takahiro Kojo, his creative time is the first twenty minutes after he returns home from the vocational center. Patiently painted over a month, the pattern features lines and shapes that dance and change over time like a living thing. The meticulous brushwork that fills the space weaves a unique new world. Kojo uses Gesso to prime prepare the drawing paper or canvas, then draws patterns by moving the nib of his Posca markers in small increments. All of his patterns are one-of-a-kind, and manifested by the spontaneity of the moment. Being a man of few words, he has used the power of art to gain the wings of expression and connect with others. Shall his creative journey evolve further through the bonds he had developed? With an abundance of possibilities at his fingertips, the dialogue continues.

"Marigold"
Masahiro Fukui/Artspace Colorful Institute/TottoriMasahiro Fukui uses acrylic paints for his artwork and draws while observing the motifs. For many years, he has been drawing flowers as his main motif, and in recent years,focusing on a single flower, sometimes drawing it continuously for months. His artwork captivates people through simplified colors and shapes drawn with a large brush, giving a lovely touch and gently leading viewers into the world of kindness.But not only that, he also has a different side in his artwork. His original "Fukui Font," boldly expressed with a marker pen, exudes a dignified atmosphere, creating a sense of intrigue.

"Untitled"
Willy De Smedt/Créahmbxl/BelgiumWilly De Smedt has been attending the Créahmbxl art workshop since 1998. The first gesture: drawing a rectangle. Willy De Smedt’s abstract painting is elaborated layer after layer. During the process, the aligned rectangles, drawn with acrylic, take on color. Then, others come to superimpose them in shift. The material accumulates. The new shades - perhaps pastel - blend with the previous ones. The rhythm of Willy De Smedt’s paintings, their vibration, is born from these overlaps. When the work is finished, it has acquired its singular depth. The eye crosses these doubled porticoes and immerses itself in the color.
