Shimada Moe solo exhibition “Ghost Note +”
Upcoming
2025/11/22 Sat. ～ 2025/12/23 Tue.
Shimada was born in 1995 in Tokyo. Based on photographs that have been processed and edited using digital devices such as smartphones and tablet terminals, we produce them using the method of drawing them with oil paint. Smartphones spread rapidly when I was a student studying art, and the environment for taking and processing photographs on a daily basis became ready, so naturally I began to make sketches with digital tools.
The feeling that painting is an extension of photo editing was very natural in Shimada from the beginning, and he says that distortions, noises, light bleeding, and color deviations that cannot be captured with the naked eye can appear in the world seen through a smartphone or computer screen. They are not simply technical bugs or errors, but they are viewed as a new reality in the present day = “new reality,” and I have a strong interest in transferring such accidental visual information into paintings through the material medium called oil paint.
In recent years, we have been exploring how far it is possible to reproduce the luminescence and glossy texture of a liquid crystal screen on analog canvases, and by daring to use the classical method of oil painting, which has strong material properties, we are exploring points of contact with the immaterial texture of digital images and the tension that arises between them.
At first, portraits were the main theme, but now we are advancing a more compositional and experimental approach while expanding motifs to include the Morandi series, which depicts pots, flowers, still lifes, and landscapes. This exhibition will present a group of paintings centered around new works, including up to 120 works. We would be happy if you could visit us.
