Born in Ibaraki, 1989, NAZE has actively produced his work using graffiti and rubbish as his motif or materials. This exhibition will present NAZE's drawings on the rubbish which he collected in NY or various places in Japan such as Kyoto and Tokyo. Graffiti and rubbish is, as NAZE says, something people normally regard as unwanted, and leave behind. What distinguishes "art works" from "rubbish" is, however, totally depending on the viewers' perspective, and this distinction would largely influence the value. As his name "NAZE" stands for "Why", this artist has kept throwing doubts on such notion of the value and attempting to overturn it. During the exhibtition period, gallery will become NAZE's open studio, there he will create works from rubbish gathered in Tokyo. Art or rubbish, necessary or unnecessary - please visit us and experience this question on the spot. * The text provided by FOIL GALLERY. Period: Friday, June 3 - Tuesday, June 21, 2011 |

Collages, pictures and graphic works drawn on clothes and the toy, etc. are crowded in the exhibition space. It is impressive that a personal world is filled very much as well as having a sense of the street. It is a peculiar world which is indecent and energetic but also introvert.
