TAISUKE TOYA

Working with sculpture, textiles, and installation, Toya explores shifting spatial perception. His recent works include “joy” (2024), inspired by C.S. Lewis’ mythical concepts, and “hibari” (2025), a formalistic installation based on repetition and symmetry. His practice examines the anonymous urban landscapes of suburban Japan and the internal experiences they evoke.

Artist Statement :

Having interest in the spaces and spatiality created by humans, I seek to materialize “things that are here but not here” in the “here / now,” aiming to cultivate a critical sensibility toward the pre-established world and to claim a personal, unique spatial experience. Through interventions in spaces where one perception inadvertently leads to the recognition of the existence of other worlds, I attempt to explore the parallel existence of multiple “selves” within the same space, and to experience entities that are not physically present as tangible matters.
