Ito Enpei (b.1976, Kasama, Ibaraki, Japan) graduated from Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music graduate school (MA) in 2002. He is always inspired by the great outdoors surrounding him. He has been creating paintings and sculptures with the same light textures in the form of humans and animals. However, he is now moving onto more non-figurative themes, as he states,“I don’t pursue only visible subjects. I feel that one of the very important elements for my further self-expression and my current aim is that by including various senses of vitality, my works will start to move and function just like living creatures”.
