Yuki Murai is a full-fledged artist who continues to explore his individual style of painting, armed with an approach to art that involves uncompromising, non-stop thinking and a powerful ability to break through barriers. This exhibition presents a body of work that reveals an overwhelming passion going beyond simplistic theories about painting, driven by Murai's indomitable artistic practice. His installations consisting of non-standard works—such as large-scale 'moving paintings' that transcend stereotyped discourse of physicality and 'paintings with moving parts'—shake the viewer's control over his or her imagination, leading to a profound encounter with painting.
