“Your and my garden” is the exhibition in 2017 to exhibit 100 drawings what he drew flowers blooming around his house. This drawing work is one of them. From No.96, rather than drawing each piece individually, I created works that tell a story with multiple pieces, like Monet's series. I saw a life as a cycle of seasons, and I sensed a similarly changing life in the life of a flower, and tried to paint the sequence of events. No.96 to 99 are drawings of a single marigold. ------------------------------- The name of this flower No.99, winter 2017 Pastel, charcoal, Ink on paper 54.5 × 68.7 cm ------------------------------- There are small fold and wrinkle at the corners of the paper that occurred during making. And there are tears in the paper due to the pressure of my writing. This is damage that occurred during the process of expressing the work. On the back of the paper, there is paint from the making process, tears on the surface of the paper, and the paper is wrinkled due to water absorption. Please be aware of this in advance. I think it will look best if you would frame to use a floating frame without using the window of matte paper. For framing works, I would be happy if you could refer to the works that I posted in Peggy in the early days. Signed on the back.

His paintings are what expressed the internality of human, their world view are constructed with images obtained from the interaction of performing and the actual experiences happened in his body.

Today, in addition to general exhibitions such as “minimum view” in SPACE M (2019), he has published works in ways that are not bound by media such as the video streaming of performance work: “Ranunculus says (January 1st - February 28th, 2019)”. In recent years, he has explored the fundamental images that hidden in people’s minds and tried to express them in his works.
