Yohta Matsuoka's "Before Dawn."

Opening on Thursday, March 30th, 2023 at Moosey Norwich in Norwich, England is artist Yohta Matsuoka's sublime solo exhibition, "Before Dawn."

Yohta Matsuoka is a Japanese artist based in Tokyo. He began his artistic career in 2004 through live painting, in an effort to capture the street culture scene of Japan. Drawing on abstract expressionist composition techniques involving patterns and wall painting, Yohta has produced large-scale murals in various places in Japan and overseas with his dynamic and skilful works. Through this series of paintings Matsuoka carefully considers his subjects composition and whether objects can become an entity in their own right, different from their original form.

“When COVID forcefully put a brake on all our social lives, it seemed to me as if the clock stopped ticking; the world has lost its colour. All the wonderful things started to appear monochrome. 

Our daily connections with people seemed to have been lost. Only time seemed to progress, the hours of the clock ticking away in vain. I felt the need to respond in some way to this new colorless, motionless world; the idea came to me of placing one of the simplest objects, a sphere on a blank plane. Next, I placed an apple, a symbol of wisdom. Then I placed a banana, a symbol of Pop Art. Lastly, I placed a stick, a symbol of the first tools used by mankind.

Placing those simple yet symbolic objects generated some kind of reaction within me. And as I observed these objects from afar, I started to see a human face in the positioning of the objects. It became something like a reminder that this is Before Dawn; that the sun would soon rise once again in a world where in which time had stopped and the colour had drained away.

By applying this pre-dawn time stamp to a world wherein time had ceased to exist, the darkness slowly started to fade to light, reminding me of a starry night sky. The sphere came alive; playful with a mind of its own. The remnants of the old have slowly begun to regain color. The new world is now moving forward to a new day that is filled with hope once again.”

4me4you visits Stolen Space Gallery which showcased “BE STILL, LIFE”.

‘Be Still, Life’ exhibition brings together StolenSpace artists who capture still life with a fresh perspective, who have put their creative stamp on the classic principle of ‘still life’ art.

We’re living in a world where peace, tranquility and ’stillness’ is ever diminishing, it’s hard to find that stillness when we are presented with fast paced technology, and information at our fingertips. With this show we pause time, offer quiet reflection, and a moment to pause and question what we surround ourselves with. ‘Be Still, Life’ examines still life in our contemporary, and how it has transformed from it’s art historical roots to be relevant in today’s society: a snap shot of the ‘now’.

Artists exhibiting: Beau Stanton, Bennett Slater, Dan Rawlings, Dan Witz, Dave Pollot, David Bray, Hans Sures, Jack Panik, James Joyce, Joram Roukes, Kathy Ager, Kristen Liu-Wong, Nick Sheehy, Noah Verrier, Paul Stephenson, Peter Frederiksen, Sarah Best, Simon Monk, Sofia Enriquez, Steeven Salvat, Thiago Nevs, Tom Gerrard, Usugrow, Xavier Casalta, Yohta Matsuoka.

@unholybloodshed liked for a small starter

“Please, don’t stare at my scars as if they’re a weird thing.” He mumbled, quickly pulling a hoodie over his head to cover himself up a bit more. It was not that he felt insecure about it, he just didn’t like being the center of attention.

4me4you recently had the pleasure of visiting Stolen Space Gallery to explore the captivating works of Yohta Matsuoka in his latest exhibition, "SINCERITY."

Artist: Yohta Matsuoka

Yohta Matsuoka, a Japanese artist based in Tokyo, is renowned for his dynamic approach to abstract expressionism. 

His work vividly employs colour and pattern, with a primary focus on still life paintings. By arranging objects on monochrome canvases, Matsuoka evokes a fundamental essence of being.

Matsuoka's art delves into the intricacies of perspective, challenging viewers to reconsider the arrangement of objects and how such arrangements can transform their original form and meaning into something new and unexpected.

His mastery of colour and composition reflects a keen artistic vision, offering a fresh perspective on the beauty inherent in everyday objects.

Matsuoka has been deeply immersed in the worlds of graffiti and mural art, balancing his creative activities within these scenes while genuinely confronting fine art. 

His current series skill-fully combines elements of graffiti art with traditional still-life compositions, navigating the realms of both academic and non-academic art forms. 

This series represents a sincere expression on canvas, bridging the extremes of classical and contemporary, fine art and street art.
