The Light Field By Daisuke Ohba

Daisuke Ohba is a Japanese artist based in Tokyo. One of the attractions of Ohba's art is his use of iridescent pearl paint, which creates ever-changing image shifts and colour transitions as the light varies, or as the viewer moves. By developing this relationship with the viewer, Ohba has been discovering new possibilities in pictorial space. Facing one of these works, the viewer is in the presence of a dazzling world of light, which seems to be produced somewhere beyond the canvas. This pictorial space can be thought of as a "light field", which gives the exhibition its name.
