Introducing HOLBEIN ART FAIR 2022 4th artist Kotaro Otsuka

Kotaro Otsuka

Advertisements all over the city, SNS and online news viewed on smartphones.

Although information is easily available and convenient, it can sometimes make you feel tired and absent-minded.

Before I knew it, I looked around the corner of the room and unconsciously picked up the small sound of the second hand.

My eyes remained open, staring at the corner of the room, not trying to capture anything.

I suddenly noticed a space reflected in my eyes that was not focused on anything, and I felt a sense of comfort.

It may suddenly appear within your reach.

I'm just thinking about that.

[Staff comment]

It is a work that attracts attention, with a blue mist appearing in the darkness. I felt that it was a work where you could enjoy the different shades of color, such as the slight difference in blue color, the haze being sunny, and the different shades of color! Works that look like corners of the universe, such as the deep sea, are works that evoke comfort and imagination in the viewer. (Fujinuma)
