When Mitsugu Sato's exhibition was held two years ago, many people who visited received many comments.
Certainly, I felt that a mysterious magnetic force was working in that "field".
And that time will come again.
He dropped out of Osaka University of Arts and was driven by an urge to go on a wandering trip from China to Asian countries with the lock of his apartment unlocked.
It is said that he wandered alive and dead many times and followed a journey like a relive of his previous life.
After returning to Japan, in 1998 he settled on the beach in Wakayama and started living.
For the first few months, he roosted on the eaves and rocks of a beach inn and gradually moved to a "house" with a roof and walls.
"What you need comes from the other side." Recalling the words that Aboriginal natives who travel the desert alone for centuries have said so, instead of working to buy art supplies, in front of them. I picked up the drifting objects that appeared in the picture frame and started to make a flat surface as the material of the frame.
Someday the picture frame begins to erode the painting, and the drifting objects make up the entire work.
"While picking up the drifting objects, I realized that I was the drifting objects," he says.
His style hasn't changed even now, when he lives in the crowds of the city, away from the beach. Pick up and create.
What we receive in what we have abandoned, in what we have abandoned, just keeps creating innocently.
Then, we are simply fascinated by the creation of the mysterious time, whether it was born or laid there all the time, just asking ourselves the answer.

In a sense, the image is everything
No matter how you imagine
We are free
I'm scared because of my freedom
Immediately draw the worst scenario
Because that is more real
I'm very small and very weak.
But in reality, this world is incredibly mysterious.
It's full of miracles that go far beyond us.
If you can believe it all
There is nothing impossible.
The image is free
And all
