Catalogue Note

Effectively transcribed in simple colours and deformed contours, his paintings blend dream and reality, human and animal senses; they recapitulate the child’s telepathic sympathy with the phenomenal world, making the audience feel as if it were their present perception. -  Midori Matsui
