Houxo Que “ Proxy ”

Gallery OUT of PLACE is very pleased to announce our new exhibition "Proxy" by Houxo Que (b.1984) . 
At the "TOKYO 2021" art exhibition (curated by Yohei Kurose) held at Toda Building (Kyobashi / Tokyo) last autumn, the installation of Houxo Que, which uses the stair space to the basement, became a big topic.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hInlhRGNVkk 
In recent years, Que's work is characterized by the use of artificial light emitted by personal computers and smartphones, which are also accessible to artists of the same generation, as well as a liquid painting material (in the above installation, a pond filled with a large amount of Chinese ink. The use of transparent media on the monitor screen in the NOUMENON series, etc.) greatly changes the meaning of conventional Painting, for example, by superimposing artistic materials in expression on the presence of artists in society. Please pay attention to this show by Houxo Que, who is regarded as one of the principal artists in the 2020s japanese art scene, for the first time in two years.
