Overview
"The essence of our time is shaped and influenced by layers of memory and the unconscious experiences of those who live in it. As a painter, I strive to portray 'universal beauty' in my work as a way of capturing this era."
Kasuza Matsuyama places the viewer at the heart of his pictorial expression, creating a space where multiple meanings emerge from the narratives within his works, as explored in The Relationship Between the Artwork and the Viewer.
His paintings blend dreamlike and fantastical imagery with familiar moments from daily life, often depicting figures with vacant, contemplative expressions.
A sense of strangeness and unease, interwoven with déjà vu and nostalgia, characterizes his work. Through carefully composed colors, intricate brushstrokes, and balanced composition, he constructs immersive worlds that evoke both familiarity and mystery.
This philosophy defines Kasuza Matsuyama as an artist of our time—one committed to preserving universal beauty at the core of human nature through his art, free from the fleeting superficialities of contemporary trends.
Kasuza Matsuyama's work has been exhibited globally, with solo shows and art fair participations in Japan, the United States, South Korea, and Taiwan. In 2023, he also contributed artwork for a Rolls-Royce event. While grounded in everyday experiences, his artwork carries an ethereal, dreamlike quality, inviting viewers to connect with the pieces through their own memories and emotions, leaving space for personal interpretation.
