O Series
Kyomori’s painting series is divided into the "O" and the "M" series, each addressing the relationship between decoration and themes such as religious belief and social status. The artist explores the "manipulation of specific images through decoration," using motifs like treasures, ornaments, headpieces, medals, and swords, which are collaged and finished with resin. The "O" series, particularly showcased in the basement gallery space, features new works that adopt an altarpiece structure, exploring the function of ornamentation within religious culture and society. These works not only pursue the solemnity of religious art but also explore how decoration conveys reverence and authority.
