KINJO / artist
Born in Tokyo.
He has roots in Okinawa and produces paintings, sculptures, and performances that take inspiration from American culture, which has deep ties to Japan.
Through the process of repeatedly "drawing" and "erasing" symbols such as "eyes glowing in the dark," "cereal packages," and "snakes," the outlines become blurred and fuzzy, transforming them into "personal beings" with a charming appearance like a portrait of the artist himself.
It's like a self-portrait for KINJO, and also an act of digging deep into his roots.
