As expressed by the terms signifier and signified, common language structure and common codes used in society enable us to communicate. But we cannot deny the existence of the incomprehensible noise that falls out of the realm of these shared meanings. Kenji Nohara is curious about what happens to this noise. When an object or scene from everyday life grabs his attention and becomes his subject, Nohara wonders why and how these scenes impact him. Nohara’s work focuses on the extent to which he can incorporate matters external to his self-consciousness into the image. To draw is the endless journey to seek and discover what is unknown. |
