Ono, who has been based in Paris since the 1980s, has established an extensive knowledge in the styles and historical backgrounds of a wide range of art history through his numerous visits to various museums and buildings thanks to his prolonged stay abroad. While comparing the art and photography of all times and places, Ono continues to create works based on the proposition in which the artist explores expressions that can only be achieved through photography, a two-dimensional image drawn with light.
