Born in 1977, Kazuo Otani studied at the Department of Art Studies at Wako University, and while collaborating with brands such as REEBOK and PAUL & JOE SISTER, he continues to draw familiar motifs while presenting his works.
A lifetime creates a unique touch by drawing colors and forms that appear unintentionally, like a music session. The work is vividly composed of various brush strokes like the strength of the rhythm, and gives you the pleasure of seeing it live. This time, we will announce a portrait series of animals made in collaboration with sikakuico, who is a younger sister of a lifetime and makes works using embroidery and beads.
"It's like music.
My brother drew colors to keep the dear ones in my eyes.
My sister sews a shape to release her beloved one.
If two people went to one canvas and played their individuality,
What kind of music will the viewer hear? "
Please look forward to "Music on the canvas", which contrasts the warm and bold brushwork of a lifetime with the delicate embroidery of sikakuico.
