Press Release

The work of O Jun gives the humor and freedom of pictures to the side which is drawn rhythmically and seen by the bright color or a clear line. On the other hand, it has the unstable difference two-facedness which draws the side seen to a realistic field of view in an instant like a girl's fresh fingertip which carries out.

The act of (drawing) remains in completed pictures, such as a stroke etc. of the thick paints piled in the left-behind space or a screen, and a brush apparently like scribble, distinctly as a trace, and it may be the cause of the fluctuation which the side to see feels to draw (act) and that the boundary of a picture (thing) is also ambiguous.

About the Artist

Born in Tokyo in 1956. He completed the master’s program in oil painting at the Graduate School of Fine Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts. O JUN’s paintings often feature scenes that evoke fragments of familiar experiences or sounds, symbolic imagery, and a strong use of blank space on the canvas. Working with a variety of materials, including oil paints, pencils, crayons, pigments, and watercolours, he creates unfamiliar worlds through his distinctive approach to painting.
