ストーリー

In Float, however, the feeling is quite different. We are faced with an extremely soft and languid painting. The contour line is uncertain, ill-defined and, within it, the patches of color fade into each other without fear. Looking at Float is like watching magma bubbling up from the earth's surface. The shades are gradual, the color element is extremely balanced, everything is warm and slow. The color effect in this case, is reminiscent in every way of oil painting and its expressive depth. Those intense purples that fade into fuchsia and fiery red, that yellow-orange background and the young man's skin so diaphanous are all elements imbued with great chromatic malleability that only an instrument like oil can achieve. And so it is that Koto's art unites two worlds, two blocks of space-time extremely distant from each other. We are used to thinking about the present, to living in our frenetic contemporaneity and using the means it has developed, just as Koto does with digital art. And yet, the past is always there, watching over us like a memory, like an atavistic thought. The artist, therefore, although she uses a purely contemporary medium for the realization of the works, draws heavily from tradition to express and give a face to those depicted in her works. The boys and girls portrayed, although they present particularly captivating poses that can be traced back to a myriad of advertising photographs or even posts on social networks, have an ancient soul. Their flesh, their skin, their clothes as well as the backdrop in which they are immersed, testify to the evidence of a past that still lives, a past that is being transformed into the present and that helps the contemporary in the task of expressiveness.
