Enrico Isamu Oyama: Altered Dimension

Enrico Isamu Oyama is an artist who is influenced by street art, especially the culture of “aerosol writing”, in which artists write their names with stylized letters in various spaces in cities. He deploys a unique motif, “Quick Turn Structure (QTS)”, composed through the spontaneous repetition and expansion of free-flowing lines informed by the visual language of aerosol writing. One of Oyama’s concerns is the issue of the frontality of QTS. In response to this, he has expanded his interest in recent years to include the fluctuations of identification and differentiation that occur when converting two-dimensional images into three-dimensional objects. He also undertakes experimental creations that shake up the nature of perception through the combination of diverse support materials and mediums, using QTS as an intermedia motif. This exhibition explores Oyama’s thinking by introducing new works in which he attempts to bring out the new figuration of QTS, with a focus on sequences of dimensions which can not be easily separated.
