ABOUT
Naoki Kawano is a Paris based,Japanese born artist,who is addicted to the individual emotional response viewers have once put face to face with his art works.He is especially drawn to the use of delicate and sensitive materials in order to evoke a strong emotional reaction.
Naoki does not use art as a form of escape from reality, but quite the opposite, he creates in such a way in which he brings other realms to our reality.
whether through painting, sculpture or installation, he is constantly exploring the other sides of our reality and through his art he merges multiple realms into one , in ours.
through his thinking and working process he is translating his adventures into a physical form of art. Color ,Texture and symbolism are his Holy trinity, with countless other ramifications invoked in each of his works.
