My paintings in the series “Fragile creatures” all share a common theme: the fragility, danger, and fragility of life.The Fragile means fragile or fleeting, but the creatures in my paintings have balloon bodies, and as the name implies, they are portrayed as very delicate.With only a thin membrane body filled with air, they live in a very precarious balance.To depict such a way of life, which may be damaged by an accident, is an allegory of the situation surrounding living creatures in reality, and also a satire on ourselves for putting them in such a situation.
Sometimes we unknowingly or unconsciously take away a place from a number of lives.My paintings are made in the style of Pop Art from the 80’s onwards, so that at first glance, the cuteness is apparent and the theme of life and death is not felt. However, the situation in which the creatures are placed is also difficult to understand at first glance, and only the cuteness of the creatures is visible.Balloons are also generally an item for decorating festive and glamorous places, such as festivals.It is the commitment to the times that my paintings can hold, to cite industrial products that evoke such mass-consumption values, to give them the meaning of the transience and fragility of life, and to show the overlap between the surface world and the actual situation of our repeated consumption of life today.
