KOTAO TOMOZAWA 1st SOLO EXHIBITION IN HONG KONG - “SLIME”

Enthusiastically fostering collaborative projects with versatile contemporary artists from around the world, “MEET ___ PROJECT” by AllRightsReserved introduces KOTAO TOMOZAWA the Japanese emerging artist who garnered attention for her distinctive hyper-realistic paintings, to present her 1st solo exhibition in Hong Kong. Titled “SLIME”, the two-week art exhibition showcases a superlative compilation of the artist’s brand-new oil paintings and sculptural artwork.

KOTAO TOMOZAWA’s latest exhibit titled “SLIME” to convey a sensational experience

Born in Bordeaux, France. KOTAO’s distinctive portraits combine slimy substances with organic motifs, capturing the textures, translucency, and softness in a realistic yet minimalist style, the "SLIME" exhibition showcases KOTAO’s latest works with a profound exploration of her sensational aesthetics. This exhibition invites spectators to immerse themselves in the mesmerizing world of the artist.

KOTAO’s masterful grasp of “SLIME”

KOTAO’s creative practice is always experimental. The artist recalls one time when she put slime onto her face without intending to, and she experienced a sense of inner peace throughout her body and mind, even though her nostrils were blocked. Slime has no practical functions and constantly sways without maintaining a fixed form, much like the most intrinsic form of humanity. This leaves viewers with a strong sensation of the unusual.

MEET Ruki Chan - KOTAO’s childhood companion to be featured in her unique portraits

KOTAO's distinctive portraits often feature her childhood doll, Ruki Chan, who played a dual role as both a childhood companion and a test subject for the slime experimentation. Ruki Chan shows significance to the work of slime and is intertwined with KOTAO's creative concept of being a primitive human.
