Ooe Yoshiyuki

Born in Osaka Prefecture in 1980 and currently based in Osaka. Graduated from the Advanced Course in Art and Design at Seian College of Art and Design. He works simultaneously in two- and three-dimensional media. His work explores how changing one’s viewpoint can alter the meaning and perception of an image. In recent years, he has created paintings that reconstruct arbitrary motifs from a meta-perspective, including drawings casually attached to the walls of his studio and maquettes for three-dimensional works. The paintings convey the artist’s own calm yet cynical gaze upon the situations unfolding before him and the state of the world itself.

Selected solo exhibitions include “Guru-Guru to Hook” (TEZUKAYAMA GALLERY, Osaka, 2021), “My lips taste like Okonomiyaki” (TEZUKAYAMA GALLERY, Osaka, 2022), and “PONCHAN des CHANPON: For just a small incident” (KYOTOba, Kyoto, 2024). Selected group exhibitions include “METAMETA ‘Alter’ Market vol.04” (BnA Alter Museum, Kyoto, 2023), “What Kind of ART Did You See Yesterday?” (seven locations within Shinsaibashi PARCO, Osaka, 2023), and “Chimeric Sculpture Expression” (AKI GALLERY, Taiwan, 2024).
