Motoko Otsuki

Artist Statement: I’m Painter from Japan. I came to New York from this year. I am exploring the relationship between vision and memory. The everyday scenery I draw is drawn with a unique line of sight. As I confront the work, which reminds me of the afterimages of memories and the afterimages that pass by, the image from the work and the distant memory of the viewer become a mixture, and I feel that a scene that is not owned by anyone emerges. The elusive feeling of emptiness is somewhat comfortable and captures the hearts of us living in the present age. I express the sense of incongruity and emptiness hidden in everyday life.
