Artist Simpei YOSHIDA

OVERVIEW

Simpei YOSHIDA Shinpei Yoshida

He currently lives and works in Tokyo, Japan, and his main medium is painting. She began her portrait series after an experience related to the death of her grandmother, and participated in an artist-in-residence program at FRISE, an artist-run space in Hamburg, Germany, in 2018. Touching on the subjects of ”presence and absence” and "memory and forgetting," she questions the danger and meaning of the incomprehensible, the forgotten, and the invisible in this age when it seems as if all that is "visible" can be shared with others. The film questions the danger and meaning of things that are difficult to understand, things that have been forgotten, and things that are invisible.
