Opening on April 22nd, 2023 at Dorothy Circus Gallery in Rome and on view until May 20th, 2023 is artist Kazuki Takamatsu’s endlessly incredible solo exhibition of new works: “Lingering Thoughts of the Cyber Punk World.”
As humanity’s narrative risks losing coherence due to intangible memories and fading thoughts, Takamatsu focuses on the ghostly remnants that resurface in our lives like digital tattoos. Kazuki’s new body of work features portraits and neon-lit female figures, created using digital studio techniques, natural pigments, and depth mapping. Set in elaborate clock-like frames, these doll-girls evoke the sublimity of time within a mystical cyberspace atmosphere. The artist intricately layers and encrypts symbolism in his works, molding beauty codes to encourage viewers to decipher the depths of time.
Takamatsu’s portraits aim to stimulate the viewer’s imagination and evoke long-forgotten memories by conveying precise emotions. The nostalgic color palette, inspired by water and sunlight, suggests the interconnection of life and death and the constant flux of existence. The exhibition highlights the complex relationship between time, technology, and identity, emphasizing the impact of technological evolution on human culture. “Lingering Thoughts of the Cyber Punk World” underscores the intricate layers of the contemporary world, shaped by an infinite range of factors.
