Human feelings are conveyed not only through facial expression but also the body language of our hands. They often reveal our inner psychological state. I use broken and disorderly lines as well as black and white blocks of strong contrast to depict the moment when our feelings receive a heavy blow, as if we did not shun away from looking at our scars.

The Endless Pursuit for Balance is about the never ending search to achieve equilibrium in life. In this modern era, people seem to be constantly trying to achieve a balance between working life and personal life. Why do we need to do this? Isn't it our own decision to place one before the other? Why seek to find this balance when it is us who caused the imbalance in the first place.

The symbols signifying addition “+” and multiplication “x” are mathematically defined by arithmetic and set theory to indicate accumulation and increase. What are the results of contemplating our desires and demands for “more” from a non-mathematical perspective? In our daily lives and environment, do we truly have these expectations or needs? Through the definition of “+ x”, what corresponds is the reflection on the endless pursuit of value and meaning.

Dawn is a painting created using black and white woodcut that reflects in profile the sober but chaotic vision I approached my explorations and understandings of life and existence in my 30s. The journey, as I exited the gates of University and entered into the rigors of carving out a living in the world at large, as well as the tempering of working as a professional print maker and print technician, have given me a novice insight into living and existence. I began a self-analysis that gradually gave way to understanding the multiplicity of human beings. Dawn is a revelation of the duality of humanity through the mode of self-portrait. The simplicity, clarity and succinct approach of black and white woodcut expresses the self that mocks itself in the mirror upon rising in the morning – yawning and conscious but not fully awake, a guise that both logical and chaotic. It is a reflection of a perception of human existence.

Javier MAZZEO

There is a time? Or just a memory is what we see? My work is not to answer these questions, just show people, landscapes, objects, which exists only as a memory or intangible reflections of what ever existed. These people are lost between time.

SAKUTA Tomiyuki

Why do I draw crying human recently? Because I had unexpected experience 6 years ago. I had to leave Japan to the Netherlands as a fellowship artist for a year 2006. Departure day at the Narita airport, I said good-bye to my wife, then I walked through the departure gate. Just at that time, tears fell down suddenly. Tears were falling down one after another, and I couldn't stop crying. That continued for about 1 hour! A lot of tears were just flowing down my cheeks very quietly. By the way, I am making intaglio print for about 25 years in Japan. My style of work had changed a few times. Recent works are based on my life. They are made from my several experiences, failure, deep thinking, and human relation. I am living every day. I am thinking about something all the time. I am often thinking too serious, so I am getting nervous and confused. I may think about tiny things too much. I know that, but I can’t handle it. If I should express something, it is such a feeling. Because that is the only one thing which I can believe. I try to express a kind of sensitive emotion coming from the bottom of my heart. If they make many holes into my body, and cold wind are blowing through there with leaves. If it is just my personal emotion, I believe people have some sympathy for my work.
