TEPPEI KANEUJI

Like the relationship between the space and the natural phenomenon in Mono-ha, this is the sculpture using the narratives, images, information and the shapeless objects in the fictional space. It can also be said that this is the action painting of using the image of cosmetics regarded as paints.

This is the examination of new nature, body, material, and city.
