Is abstraction a more vivid reality?
Is it a painting or a stain?
Nakabayashi uses automatism and quick brush strokes to draw animals, plants and imaginary landscapes with a body that can be regarded as anthropomorphic.
What is drawn can be a device that constantly changes depending on the background of the viewer and the challenges of the world, allowing the body of the painting to be experienced and the pain of others to be imagined.
She has lived as a woman in Japan since she was a child, and she had a lot of pain.
Is she working to heal her wounds, or is she reaching out to someone who is now seeking her help?
It shouldn’t be just one or the other. Materializing one’s own world is the only way to understand someone and to connect with society.
