Osamu MATSUDA

Born 1979 in Hyogo, Live in Tokyo.
2009, M.A Tokyo University of the Arts, Oil Painting Major.

Taking many different methodologies such as video, sculpture or drawings, Osamu Matsuda attempts to tackle the universal themes in everyday genre scenes, for instance, life and death. Occasionally depicting the virtuality in modern society, where wars or deaths are continuously reproduced in computer games, Matsuda scoops out those who are neglected from society like heavy shut-ins or the so called NEETs (acronym of Not in Education, Employment or Training.)
In recent years, he has produced numerous works based on his own background and experiences, such as the reality of poverty during the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of this endeavor, he published his first book, “Amajin.”
