I start first private exhibition “Powder” due to seven Yokoi greens on Saturday, October 20, 2012 by ワコウ works of art.
Early in production, seven Yokoi greens which made a picture by the drawing a work made drawing itself a work later and gradually enlarged expression means by performing the production of the painting more.
Yokoi locates a mermaid and a girl, a boy, a butterfly and a moth, a beetle, a bird, a candle or flame in the fantasic world including the poison that I opened to a non-everyday border every day and lets each confront it and it is careful and investigates own and world relation by letting you interfere it depending on the situation that occurred there. In addition, it is many drawing works that it may be said that I do the origin of her expression in the painting work which in late years wrestles energetically that Yokoi chose as a display work in first private exhibition “Powder” at this time when I named the title which reminds you of the scales of the feather of a butterfly drawn on some new works.
Yokoi keeps balance of the form and content in a painting work at the spot where is close to estrangement while investigating the influence that a medium called paint having a feeling of material and the feel of a material that are stronger than a pencil gives the expression world that is warm in フラジャイル which own builds and brings about strong feeling of strain by letting you compete. And, in the drawing work with the pencil, I am given reliable presence by the element of the story that delicate, fresh and young sensitivity has a glimpse behind abundance of detail lined in a high technique and a gesture and the scene setting of a person and creatures to appear and gets and show agreement of the form and content.
A sense of the behavior that got more like a cruel ceremony at the time of girl and biology to come up in a work and the freshness to be common to all works, and to be provided with. The desire to the abbreviation of the explanatory element and the story that a sense of reality that something is right performed brings now. And the world where it is like I / poetry to appear by a technique high and the interaction of the fable-like style. Many every one point that I can never catch elements letting appreciation need time having a long it brings a stare and repetition of the reinterpretation to a person of appreciation only by having had a look at it and brings about a toxic high intoxication state.
