207: Gallery OUT of PLACE TOKIO

Gallery OUT of PLACE TOKIO is pleased to announce our new exhibition : "Masking / Fixing" by Hogalee.
Hogalee has two different themes from around 2013 : "Plagiarism" (a series that combines paintings appearing in art history and comic figures) and "Restitution" (a series that draws a huge mural using the masking tape). Based on them, we can say that he has drawn modern "Girl". In this solo exhibition, he focuses on the "Restitution" series, and will present masking tape works on the canvas as a support, not on the wall, and he tries to ask for the meaning of lines drawn in comics and manga.

【Artist statement】
The black masking tape itself draws a Girl as a drawing tool on the canvas, and when the masking tape is peeled off, only the plain support remains.
This is the masking tape mural technique based on the concept of restitution of the space that I have previously produced.
Creating two tableau works with the same masking tape, I paint the entire surface of only one tableau. After peeling off the tape, the part protected by the mask appears as a Girl of different color.
By showing the same pattern different in these processes in pairs, the transformation of the media and the layer structure become clear.
For a limited period, reversible masking tape works that have dealt with restituion are transformed into permanent ones.
It means releasing from a fixed place and gaining freedom "transportable".
Another thing I'm going to try this time is that I dare to trim the image of a Girl and excerpt a composition or part without drawing the face.
The image of Girl is stripped of the iconic property, and eventually it becomes a surface of canvas that is only a set of lines. There is another Masking / Fixing theme there.
