Kei dessert
Painter
Bio
Born in Japan in 1975.
At the age of 7, he discovered the joy of drawing when adults praised his paintings exhibited at an exhibition in the city where he lives.
He started learning calligraphy at the age of 10.
He grew up in contact with Japanese manga, anime, and video game culture.
Graduated from design school and became a graphic designer.
Has been involved in print and web design for 25 years.
During this time, he began to incorporate calligraphy into his design work after experiencing the use of brush lettering in his designs.
Became a freelance designer. This led him to start working on social networking sites.
While teaching and disseminating information to beginners as a graphic designer on the web, he continued to transmit calligraphy as a design material.
While repeating these activities, his calligraphy works began to attract attention.
This triggered a transformation from brush lettering materials as design materials to art.
He begins to create art.
Finding a new style that is neither calligraphy nor painting, he begins to create works with a message using oriental forms of letters.
Incorporating a designer's point of view into his art, he aims for self-expression that allows for a wide range of interpretations, not just the creator's own senses.
The theme of his work is to create a gap between the expression of letters and words that have meaning and the fusion of abstract paintings with diverse elements that give a certain sympathy to the viewer and betray him in some way.
He believes that his works are completed when they are viewed by the viewer, and when viewed by someone with a completely different mindset, interpretations that the creator does not have are born. That is why he hopes that many people will see his works.
While respecting the traditions and formalities of calligraphy, the destruction of these traditions and formalities is also the essence of his work.
He continues his activities to deliver "sympathetic betrayal" to as many people as possible.
