KAWABATA
Born: 1986
Hometown: Osaka
Based in: Osaka
Using paper, acrylic paint, and pieces of wood as materials.
Drawing, printing, and image editing app are used to create collages.
I cherish encounters with the "form of the beginning and the end" of a story, which I find through playing with colors.
After graduating from junior high school in 2001, I became self-taught in painting and sculpture.
I have participated in numerous group exhibitions and have held solo exhibitions since 2004.
