CLEAR EDITION & GALLERY proudly presents, a solo show by Wataru Komachi ,divided into two parts during the two months exhibition period.

​

Komachi 's works consist of a variety of symbols and elements from music and fashion design industry,  so that audience can easily find their mind connections with the artwork, and the artist can convey his distinct perspective in responding to the modern society. There is also a sense of humor addressed by quipping cynicism that builds up an ample expression in his work. Fundamentally, the performance of his work did not fall under the influence of popular art. Supporters of Wataru Komachi especially stand by the naive creativity and sensibility consistently seen in his artwork.
 
In the two-part exhibitions, the artworks are separated by the dialogs and transformation between art, fashion, photography, interior design and many different genres of design that Wataru has ever experienced. Furthermore, artworks are re-compiled by various aspects into a series of curation, which makes this exhibition even more special and hard to come by.
 
Part 01, entitled “I Don’t Want To Grow UP”, are installations from his early fashion design and painting works that transform his early-stage impulse into real action. 
 
Part 02, entitled “Just Like Heaven”, mainly focus on his furniture design and screen print works, where artist turns his imagining "Paradise/Heaven" created by the chaos of modern world into substance.
 
There will be selling merchandises especially produced for the exhibition.According to two different parts of topics and statements brought by the artist, how will he perform the comparison between two emotion and sceneries, and make the overall connection?
 
Please do no doubt to take this rare opportunity, and come to see this exhibition with your own eyes.

本次於CLEAR EDITION & GALLERY所舉辦藝術家小町涉之個展，將於兩個月的展期中，分為兩部分的展示構成進行展出。

​

小町的作品含有許多音樂與時尚設計的元素，使作品與觀者的感受產生許多的接點，並發展藝術家呼應現代社會的獨自視角。同時作品中犬儒主義諷刺感的幽默訊息，建構出豐富的表現層次。作品在表現的根基中並未受到通俗藝術的影響，維持著藝術家一貫純真的創造感性，其這樣的風格受到許多的支持者的支持。

​

本次分為兩部分所構成的展示中，作品的分野於藝術/時尚/攝影/室內設計/設計的不同類型中悠遊變換，將小町各種多變的創作手法與表現的各種面向進行重新編碼後進行連續的展示。是難得的特別展示機會。

​

​Part 01 第一部題名為“I Don’t Want To Grow UP”，以將初期衝動具體轉化之時尚設計與繪畫作品為中心的裝置藝術所構成。

Part 02 第二部題名為 “Just Like Heaven”，將藝術家所想像，渾沌的現代世界中創造的「樂園/天堂」具體轉化為實體型態的作品。由傢俱設計與絹印作品為中心所構成。

本次預定會販售配合本次展示主題所製作的周邊商品。

兩部展期的不同主題以及藝術家本次展覽的論述主題，將會如何表現對比的感情與情景，並整體進行連結，請務必把握此難得的機會，光臨會場一睹本展覽。
