Kimiya Yoshikawa & Hsiao-Chi Tsai

SHAPE OF THE AIR

2017.2.25-3.12

​

A colorful, beautiful and light shape like a bird of paradise.

Their work is completely new in size, form and color sense. It feels like you're lost in the world of the future. It may seem strange at first glance, but the more you look at it, the more peaceful it is. In other words, the positive and negative that underlie the creation of the two are the world of positive and negative. Given that the sky is like a sign common to all things in the world, their glamorous works symbolically draw and carve the sky like a flag of freedom and peace. These two cool artists, who continue to produce works called site-specific, which are "made in a specific place by considering the characteristics of that place," will surely humorously shine the future even more beautifully, enjoyably and freely. I don't feel like I'm fluttering the flag.
