Kenichi OBANA
Born 1981 in Gunma, Live in Akita
Completed a post graduate degree in Western painting at the University of Tsukuba in 2006.
I make drawings and sculptures based on people’s activities, folklore, local landscapes, and history. By creating a space in which these elements are intermingled, I make story without beginning or end that is experienced differently by every viewer. While alternating between fiction and reality, I set out to create works that expose the contradictions and absurdity that underlie our society.
