Tomohito Ishii石井友人

Tomohito Ishii, born in 1981, is an artist who obtained his M.A. from the Painting Course, Graduate School of Art and Design, Musashino Art University. He creates artworks that problematize visual perception as an information reception device by painting images sourced from his own photographs or existing imagery. In recent years, he has been creating paintings using oil and UV printing techniques, featuring a double image with an inverted depiction of potted plants as motifs. Through this approach, he aims to transform the symbolic recognition of human beings inseparable from urban spaces. In addition to his artistic practice, he also engages in curation activities, such as αM+ vol. 2: My Hole - Hole in Art: Subterraneans and Mirrorless Mirror.
