Kin Shiotani exhibition “On the road” held at B GALLERY
2016.08.22
Kin Shiotani's 10th exhibition at B GALLERY. Under the theme of "PHOTO + GRAPHIC," Kin Shiotani's icon, an angel, and various illustrations will be added to the photos he has taken during his travels around the country, including hitchhiking more than 1,000 times. By drawing, Kin Shiotani's unique works of art are created. In addition, by looking at the words "PHOTO + GRAPHIC" that resemble notes from a trip, it will stimulate the viewer's imagination and make them feel as if they are going on a journey.
In addition to the exhibition, the artist's performances and talks that are suddenly announced only on Twitter (@kinshio) are also attractive. This performance will make this exhibition even more enjoyable. Please look forward to Kin Shiotani's latest exhibition.
``So, I'm going to confidently draw on photos again. This method is called "PHOTO + GRAPHIC," which combines PHOTO and GRAPHIC. While respecting the high school girls who took photos of Yokohama and doodled in photo booths, I plan to continue using travel, words, and illustrations in my own way as a means of my own art. ”
