| Manipulating the techniques of inkjet printing and transparent media, the artist makes painting of plants superimposed as many layers. Such paintings suggest the potential of multi-layered society and the painting itself. He also makes “Cassette Plant”, for which he uses transparent cassette cases that contain plants. Thousands of cassette cases installed on the glass wall of the museum will make a forest. |
