Shunsuke Imai’s works are rooted in an investigation of the fundamental components of painting – color, shape, and space. His colored forms contrast with each other to yield a hard-edged image. In recent years, he has extracted the colorful patterns from his paintings and translated them to paper that he applies to wall surfaces, or transferred those patterns to cloth and filmed them to create video works. He will be developing an installation in the spacious 1st floor lobby of The National Art Center, Tokyo with an array of vibrant patterns taken from his paintings.
