Kohei Kyomori (Studio View 2)

"Studio View 2" continues Kyomori's interior series, treating the artist's workspace as a site of accumulation where traditional Japanese pigments and contemporary synthetic materials coexist. Mineral pigments are typically applied with nikawa (animal glue) binder, requiring meticulous layering to build colour density; UV resin, by contrast, cures rapidly under ultraviolet light into a hardened plastic film. The juxtaposition foregrounds the temporal and material asymmetry that recurs throughout Kyomori's practice — slow, mineral, regional traditions placed beside rapid, industrial, urban-coded materials. The "Craftspeople" tagging connects the work to Kyomori's broader interest in disappearing rural trades, drawn from his childhood in a depopulated district of Ehime. Rather than depicting craftspeople directly, the studio views offer an indexical record of one craftsperson's working conditions, presented as a subject equal in significance to any finished image.
