The darkness I am referring to here is not simply the color black, but a kind of presence that tends to be overlooked at first glance in a scene. I feel that this darkness not only gives a sense of awe, but can also sometimes empathize with people's loneliness. \u003cbr\u003eThe reason I turned my attention to this was because of the lonely experience I had when I lived in a small residential area where I didn't know anyone. Darkness is a device that creates loneliness, and the sense of tranquility and impatience felt when looking at that loneliness is revealed a little through painting. I want to invite the viewer into a little of that darkness. In modern times, I explore through painting what lies beyond the human spirit and what moves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Born in Tottori Prefecture in 1982, raised in Hiroshima and Nara Prefectures\u003cbr\u003e 2005 Graduated from Osaka College of Art, Art Research Department, Painting Course\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Solo exhibitions, group exhibitions, art fairs\u003cbr\u003e 2024 ART FAIR TOKYO 2024 (Tokyo International Forum\/Tokyo)\u003cbr\u003e 2023 \"Dazzling Shadow\" Three-person Exhibition (Shinjuku Ophthalmology Gallery\/Tokyo)\u003cbr\u003e 2022 Seattle Art Fair 2022 (Lumen Field Event Center\/Seattle)\u003cbr\u003e 2021 Kotaro Inoue Exhibition \"Things Lurking Right Next to Us\" (KOKI ARTS\/Tokyo) \u003cbr\u003e2021 Kotaro Inoue Exhibition \"HIDEAWAY\" (flotsambooks\/Tokyo)\u003cbr\u003e 2019 ART FAIR ASIA FUKUOKA 2019 (Fukuoka Mitsukoshi\/Fukuoka)\u003cbr\u003e 2018 Kotaro Inoue Exhibition \"VISION\" (KOKI ARTS\/Tokyo)\u003cbr\u003e 2018 ART FORMOSA (Eslite Travel\/Taipei)\u003cbr\u003e 2017 Kotaro Inoue Exhibition \"Kaleido\" (Gallery Den mym\/Kyoto)\u003cbr\u003e And many more\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/pls-art-shop.com\/en-zh\/collections\/kotaro-inoue-contemporary-art.oembed","provider":"+ART GALLERY（Online）","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
