Artist

Naughty Middle-Aged Man and Maru

Concept

He is an art activist who calls himself a "world-famous artist." He uses the art and crafts he experienced as a child as a means of expression.
He is engaged in extreme crafting activities day and night, cunningly examining the intersection of craftsmanship and art.
He creates installations using familiar objects, takes snapshots of the city, and creates works and spaces with a touch of Ogiri (comic comedy) that are not bound by technique or technology.
