The theme of this exhibition is "We can change the world's colors depending on how we look at it,".
There are moments when even the most ordinary scenery, plants, and trees sparkle in response to light.
I hope you will enjoy these works that give form to the small beauty that is all around us.
After working as an illustrator and designer, I became an artist based in my hometown of Fukuoka.
My artistic concept revolves around "The Journey to Self-Transcendence," that I arrived at between self-denial and self-affirmation. I create paintings that "Depicting Glitter" with the theme of thoughts, ways of perceiving things, and fragments of fantasies that lead to a positive mental attitude.
The "Glitter of Something Special Series," which depicts familiar landscapes and plants, is facing the theme of "We can change the world's colors depending on how we look at it,”.
And it features a technique of "Depicting Glitter" with transparent paint on holographic materials.
This makes use of the refraction of light to bring up a glittering picture that is not limited by color.
My artist name "Orecho" (in Japanese, "Ore" means "Yourself" and "cho" means "Go beyond") is a term I coined from the concept of "Going beyond yourself,". The word has become symbolic of my creative attitude and worldview.
Started my career as an illustrator and designer.
I worked on illustrations and designs for official goods of major artists.
And I also create websites, logos, and graphic designs for companies, organisations and shops.
2005 Began own career as an artist.
