Naoyuki Tsuji 29th May - 21st June 2008 Opening: Thursday, 29th May 2008, 6.30-8.30 pm Tommaso Corvi-Mora is pleased to present a new animation by Japanese artist Naoyuki Tsuji in his first solo exhibition in the UK. For the exhibition the artist has completed a new work, an animation of drawings in charcoal on paper titled �The Place, Where We Were� (2008). "One of the main characteristics of animations created using charcoal is the afterimage. With this method it's easy to erase or draw over or add details to a previously drawn image, but the previous image never completely disappears. My method is quite simple. I sit in front of the paper and wait for an idea. When I get an idea, I draw it down and click the shutter a few times. Then I erase a bit and redraw and click the shutter a few more times, and so on. So it's random, yet with direction, ordered towards the future. I start with no set idea for the film. Each image I draw and photograph creates suggestions which lead to the next image, and these images build up inside me as the work advances. I enjoy the unique possibilities of this particular medium, which doesn't require anything else but charcoal and paper." Naoyuki Tsuji 2007 Naoyuki Tsuj' s work was recently included in �Momentary Momentum: Animated Drawings� at Parasol Unit, London (2007) and in �The Geopolitics of Animation� at the CAAC Sevilla (2007). His work will be exhibited at the forthcoming Busan Biennale in Korea, September 2008. The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday 11 am to 6 pm. For further information or photographic material please call 020 7840.9111. Next exhibition: Jim Isermann, 27th June to 31st July 2008. |
