Toshio Miyaoka
A single postage stamp-sized scrap cut from a magazine or other source. Looking at it upside down, Miyaoka enlarges it and paints it, then returns it to its original position to complete the painting. When Miyaoka does not "paint the object," but rather captures only the "color, shape, and light" of the object, what becomes a painting?
Other than the color and shape of the restricted motifs, only the brush strokes dance freely, creating a rhythm like that of an abstract painting.
In every era, there are social phenomena, events, and people who were prevalent along with the time and place. Unknowingly, we are imbued with common sense and standards of value that match the era in which we live, and we judge all things accordingly. By intentionally perceiving that common sense as a flat and meaningless thing and outputting it, Miyaoka's paintings create a certain unsettling sense of discomfort, and we will surely become aware of the issues raised by them.
