Kei Imazu
Imazu Kei (1980-) creates paintings by the technique of composing with computer-processed pictures sampled from various media, then painting in oils on canvas on the basis of this preparatory image. Human perception is intimately associated with technological development. As with the advent of photographs and film, innovations such as the universal use of smartphones and AI are further transforming our perceptions, spatial awareness, and concepts of things. In response to these changes, Imazu is exploring new pictorial representations in art history. Based in Indonesia since 2017, her recent works add motifs from Indonesian history and mythology. This exhibition covers her entire oeuvre, including a new series on the subject of the Hainuwele myth. These pictures juxtapose elements from global environmental issues and ecofeminism, mythology, history, and politics in a single plane, and can be described as dynamic representations generated by the passage of massive images and information through Imazu’s own body. This is the first large-scale solo exhibition by an artist who is attracting great attention at an international level.
