About the Artist

The world connected by sound and music links us. Kaoru Shibuta translates musical notes into images and contemporary installations. In addition, through local culture and energy of atmosphere, he create a poetic symphony composed of images, colours and harmony, which is a perfect fusion between nature, music and art.

"If Mozart is the one who composes music to link the terrestrial world to the celestial world, I am the one who undertakes him to propagate it with my painting. If Beethoven composed to surpass philosophy,then I undertake to give them a shape with my paintings. J?S?Bach is the old testament Bible of classical music."

Kaoru Shibuta is a painter, but he has an interest in sound, and improvises paintings based on how sounds appear in the form of colors and shapes. The senses such as the five senses, and the amount of information that we can "see" like sight, which is said to have a large amount of information, and the information that we can "hear" like sound, are integrated and recognized within us.

Sometimes feedback comes back through other senses, and each sense is not closed by itself. In such a synesthesia state, Shibuta senses "color" and "shape." Through the five senses and perceptions, we receive and grasp the influence of the environment (outside world and others) that surrounds us every day. It cannot be said that there is only something that becomes, something that is clearly felt, something that remains. This time, as if inspired by them and sympathized with them, they are expressed by "sounds", "voices", "shapes", "colors" and "materials". Although the key to the beginning is different, by arranging and circulating each other's expressions in space, it may be possible to create an environment where new sympathies arise. In this project, by constructing the artist's expression in space and circulating it on the time axis, I would like to create an environment that sympathizes and resonates with new senses.
