From January 20 to February 24, 2020, a group exhibition “Anthropocene” by Wataru Ozu, Yoshiki Omote and Masahiro Masuda will be held at Art Wall Gallery in Ginza Tsutaya Bookstore.
This exhibition focuses on three artists, both born in the 90s, and introduces their new and previous works.
In this exhibition, which presents a diverse group of works with three different expressions in one place, we present contemporary people through works that visualize familiar objects, phenomena, and landscapes that exist in everyday life from an artist’s unique perspective. You can see the surrounding environment and the times.
Anthropocene, the title of this exhibition, is a geological term for the Japanese term “Hinshinsei” and is a new term of a new geological age meaning “the age of humanity.” .
In geology, the geochronology of stratigraphy, a study that studies the order in which strata were formed, is currently considered to be the era of the Cenozoic Quaternary Holocene. At the end, Anthropocene / Holocene is considered as a new geological age division.
Wataru OZU
Inspired by oil paintings using the drawing itself as a motif, and Flemish paintings that allow the lower layer of white to pass through, drawing drawings with reference to Western paintings in art history and Ukiyoe by Utagawa Hiroshige. Is an artist who creates paintings using the transparent state of an oil-painted canvas without painting.

Yoshiki OMOTE
We have produced a series of works that transform large movements and structures into everyday scales. Larger phenomena, such as crustal deformation and the atmosphere, which are hard to perceive from a consumer’s point of view, can be projected on sculptures and others, appealing to the viewer’s physicality.

Masahiro MASUDA
His work shoots a casual landscape of interest and projects that image to the same location with a projector. By repeating the process of shooting again from the same viewpoint multiple times, and printing it on the canvas with silk screen, many images and paints are overlapped, and an image that is full of blur is projected.
