"BEYOND"
by MOE NAKASE | 中瀬 萌  

September 7th –September 22, 2018

curated by Masato Tsuruta & Clear Gallery Tokyo

Separating the space transparently, glass does not have inside or outside. 

This work, made by beeswax, which transforms from "solid" to "liquid" to "gas" crosses over between the space and the body. 
Viewing a cross-section of the space from the window that blends into everyday life.

The outside world and the inside world melt at the same time on the surface and solidify over time as objects, 

representing the existence.

A constantly flowing blood that nonstop circulates the veins and arteries, 
A real representation created by crossing incomplete lines.

In a society that somewhat separates from the reality in front of us, what constructs where am I, inside or outside, what makes us recognize. 

That division is nothing but our own decision.

透明に空間を隔てるガラスは内と外を持たない

 「個体」「気体」「液体」と化す蜜蝋によって施されたこの作品は、空間と身体を視覚的に行き来する

日常に溶け込む窓から空間の断面を見る外の世界と内の世界が同時に表面に溶け合い、時間の経過により物として固まり、

存在を表す絶えず流れる静脈、動脈により循環する血液交差する不完全な線がつくりだす現実の表象

目の前にある現実とは何か隔て合う社会の中で、自身はどこに在るのか内と外とは何によって構築され、

認識するのかその分断とは、つまり自身の決断である

There is no past in a dream, and there is no eternity in the reality.
The eternity between the dream and the reality is free from the restrictions of time.
I work on looking for non-persistency.
That is because I want to keep creating works with a spirit of Japanese, "to appreciate something tranient".
By Moe Nakase, in Paris, the early summer in 2018

"That impact was more than something can be expressed with a word 'fascinaing', I cannot remember what I felt at that time.
I was connected to the work in a strange way, and was almost to lose the ability to remember."
From "Pictures and Tears -the history of people crying in front of pictures-", by Jane Elkins

The talent who surprised New Yorkers in the early spring this year created "Beyond", the poetry and the creations that no body have never seen before, with much more density for Roppongi this time.

Profile:
Born in Kanagawa, 1993.
While starting modeling in 2015, she began to work on as an artist influenced by her father known for a sculptor, thinking about what is her own expression besides the model.
Going through from the works by unique pointillism, making many tiny dots on translucent tracing paper, to the exhibition in Brooklyn, she started the encaustic paintings, drawing the flow of vivid colors with beeswax.
In 2017, she exhibited at NY BROOKLYN BEAUTY/FAHSION LABO, and in December, received the grand prize of J-COLLABO ANNUAL EXHIBITION.
