“SYNESTHESIA” introduces the artist Kiyoo Ota
Kiyoo Ota
After studying architecture, he joined a foreign investment bank, driven by a wish to better society through economics. Having lived through the financial crisis, he turned to art out of a desire to create works that would endure forever, even beyond his own death. Using devices such as optical illusion, perspective and moiré, he creates three-dimensional works that break down preconceptions and offer viewers a sudden moment of realization.

[Staff Comment]
You may find yourself drawn into the mysterious charm created by the overlapping lines. The work shows a different face depending on the angle from which you view it, and you can also sense materials rarely encountered in everyday life. Please take the time to experience Ota's work. (Konda)
[Exhibition Information]
“SYNESTHESIA”
This exhibition brings together ten diverse, up-and-coming artists with the aim of inviting visitors to refresh their sensibilities and cultivate new perspectives through art. The exhibition title, "SYNESTHESIA," refers to a perception in which one senses color in letters or sounds, or shape in tastes or smells. We hope that the rich variety of expression woven by these ten artists will become an occasion for you to encounter something within yourself.
