MU GALLERY is pleased to present “The Now to know the invisible” by nAo OKAMOTO 11/1(sat) to 11/15(sat).

　

nAo OKAMOTO
Born in 1981 in Kobe, Japan.
Embarked on a journey of creativity,
majored in film production as a student digging into the creation of music videos and short films.
In 2004, ventured solo to New York City.
Immersed in its art scene,
ignited his passion for self-taught exploration in art and design which led him to forge the signature technique,
“Bubble Art,” a fusion of innovation and expression.
nAo continued his engagement with the film production,
culminating in an art video performance at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 2010.
Returned to his homeland in 2011, where he has since anchored his creative endeavors.

With a spirit fueled by cross-disciplinary exploration and a relentless pursuit of innovation,
he continues to weave his artistic narrative,
blending the realms of visual storytelling and aesthetic invention.

What is Bubble Art?
nAo OKAMOTO’s original technique.
Surface Tension and Drying Shrinkage of Acrylic Paints.
It creates bubble-like circles on the canvas.
Acrylic paint is applied to the canvas, and as it dries over time from the outer edges inward,
bubbles form through the effects of flowing water or wiping.
The characteristic of the drawing is that it can create a sense of three-dimensionality.
This allows the expression to change dramatically depending on how light hits it,
creating a wide range of forms regardless of whether they are abstract or concrete.
My current location is “here and now.”
The future that lies ahead is yet unseen.
But still, We try to know—.
Through “Bubble Art,” we hope you will experience a glimpse of this world in this exhibition.
