Okamoto Mitsuhiro: One Piece One Piece, 2016

eitoeiko is pleased to announce a solo exhibition '69' by Okamoto Mitsuhiro. The exhibition is the second exhibition for the artist with eitoeiko. Takeshi Kudo, a curator of Aomori Museum of Art, is curated '69'. Kudo selects 9 artworks from the artist's selection, mainly from recent and brand-new artworks, and also he picks up 6 artworks from all of Okamoto's artworks. At the same time a catalogue '69' will be published from Man International Press. The catalogue includes 69 artworks which are selected by the artist himself, from over 2,000 artworks that the artist has created from 1991 to 2016.
One of Okamoto's recent artworks 'U.F.O. unidentified falling object' got a stunning reputation and the installation was introduced by newspapers and broadcasted by TV news last year. Okamoto considers that the art is a mirror. Art reflects the real world and it visualizes the invisible thing such as taboo, rights, racism, culture gaps, eros, smell, the dead and the spirit. Yet his mirror has a little distortion by a filter - his sense. Okamoto distorted the whole world fairly, without bias, and visualized as painting, sculpture, video and installation. The world that he indicates looks grotesque. But visitors understand the prejudice in the society. Okamoto's artworks depicts a caricature, irony with wit, as well as it delivers an admonition to our world. Okamoto explores the world and practices to find an undiscovered theorem. The artist works like he is searching for Fibonacci number from the nature.
