Kohei Kyomori (Studio View 3)

"Studio View 3" forms part of Kyomori's documentary investigation of his own atelier in Ehime Prefecture. The combination of mineral pigments and UV resin produces a layered, semi-relief surface — pigment grains catching light differently from cured resin — that pulls attention to the materiality of the work itself. This emphasis on surface aligns with Kyomori's broader practice, in which densely ornamented compositions register the contemporary urban condition of visual oversaturation. Within the "Studio Views" sequence, the third image shifts the framing: where studio depictions in classical Japanese painting typically isolate the master at work, Kyomori's canvases foreground the room and its tools, decentring the figure and proposing the workspace itself as the carrier of identity. The "Craftspeople" tag situates the series within his ongoing interrogation of regional Japanese trades and the asymmetry between rural production and urban consumption.
