eitoeiko is pleased to announce a solo exhibition 'All Is Crushed By The Back Teeth' by Junta Egawa. In 2013, Egawa was selected to the exhibition VOCA at the Ueno Royal Museum in spring, and his solo exhibition was held at TWS Hongo in summer. And then the artist joined with a group show at JAUS in Los Angeles. In 'All Is Crushed By The Back Teeth', Egawa will show his latest paintings.

Junta Egawa uses oil paint as a material which it is able to fix and remove easily from canvas. By putting, spreading, chipping and connecting the oil paints, Egawa attempts to figure the daylights of his everyday life. Repeated vague dots and the careful gray gradation to fill the space let us be conscious of a rule, but at the same time the rule is broken and it disappears. There are both of stability and instability. Does his improvisation-like painting mean only a personal feeling? Or it becomes a mirror of the world today? Egawa is thinking,

It is quite complicated that the relationship of people, or the relationship between human and the object. There is no answer. Sometimes I feel the complex about it. At the same time, I find it attractive and I feel a kind of possibility. If there were the self and the world, it appears in sight. So the choice in the moment must be important and I have my responsibility about it.

It is me who will make a world on the canvas. If I couldn't face the problem which is facing to me, I could never see the future beyond.

The intervention of art into our society makes our relationship much more multi-layered. Egawa opens door to invite us the world that we have overlooked. It is a challenge to explore the images we have never seen.

At the same period in this exhibition, four artists' exhibition 'Artist Labo: Experimentation Of Being Made' will be held at Atlia, Kawaguchi, from July 19 until August 31.
