Koichi Enomoto “NEW LIFE!!”
We visited Koichi Enomoto’s solo exhibition “NEW LIFE!!” at TARO NASU.
Installation view
Titled “NEW LIFE!!,” this solo exhibition is set in Tokyo, a city being transformed by the impact of the novel coronavirus.
“The phrase ‘new lifestyle,’ coined by politicians, has changed the meaning of the word ‘new’ — a word that, in phrases like ‘new computer’ or ‘new art,’ used to carry dreams and hope. But this change was not a vivid revolution; rather, it came in a form close to imposition.
I painted every work with the question in mind: What was the ‘new life’ that should originally have been born from some trigger, or gradually? And what kind of painting is possible under the ‘new life’ we are now living?
I was also asking: Can the concept of ‘new’ and the direction of society continue as they have been up to now? These were the thoughts behind creating this body of work.”

Koichi Enomoto 「NEW LIFE!!」
Koichi Enomoto의 개인전 「NEW LIFE!!」를 방문했습니다. 회장은 TARO NASU입니다.
전시 전경
「NEW LIFE!!」라는 제목의 이번 개인전은 신종 코로나바이러스의 영향으로 변모하는 도시, 도쿄를 무대로 하고 있습니다.
「정치가가 만들어 낸 『새로운 생활』이라는 말은, 새로운 컴퓨터, 새로운 예술과 같이 종래에는 꿈을 담고 있던 『새로운』이라는 단어의 의미를 바꾸어 놓았습니다. 그러나 그것은 혁명처럼 선명하게 바꿨다기보다는, 반쯤은 강요에 가까운 형태로였습니다.
본래 어떤 계기를 통해, 또는 서서히 태어나야 할 『새로운 생활』이란 어떤 것이었을까, 또한 지금 우리가 보내고 있는 『새로운 생활』 속에서 어떠한 그림이 가능한지를 염두에 두고 모두 그렸습니다.
또한 『새로운』이라는 개념과 사회가 나아가는 방향은 지금까지처럼 계속될 수 있을 것인가. 이것이 이번 작품을 제작함에 있어 생각하고 있던 것입니다.」
