MOOT ART PROFILE : SEISHIRO MATSUYAMA

Tuesday, 21st of April, 2015
In the third of our Moot Art Profiles we take a look into the work of Seishiro Matsuyama

Manic vibrancy pulsates in us everyday. We are saturated in light and colour so much so that it causes some people to become over saturated and subsequently die or even worse! imprisoned in a sea of grey misery (depression). It is a struggle, a constant war. Colour poses a risk as do the continual bombardment of information we face on most part of our daily routine in contemporary squalor. With an array of materials, from high end products of oil and silicone to human excrement, crayon wax and markers we choose materials and their instruments that leads to the exorcism of these bombardments we face in a techno-gizmotronic society. One by one the information is stored in log books, on sheets of paper or paradoxically on the screen of a computer laptop or hand held smartphone device via cloud storing technology to be contextualised for ourselves and for the enjoyment and the wellbeing of other humans.

The Art of Seishiro Matsuyama is a manifestation of the war we face with both colour and information. This frenetic struggle and subsequent balance between the two becomes evident in the collection 'Starwows' filled with horses, almonds, smiling faces (why are they smiling?) swastikas, phonecalls, flowers, teeth, eating, bambies, smiling (still smiling) all infused with colour, energy, anger, happiness, saturation expression where the body is engulfed towards the point of pure unadulteration. Seishiro's artwork is unadulterated spelled with a capital that is contained and deeply imbedded to the pages of Starwows, Capital Starwow.



The work album 'Art Work Moon' found on Seishiro's facebook.com album is less chaotic and show's more of the composed stylings of contemporary classical collaged pastes and unidentifiable technique on the surface. Beautifully strange touristic imagery brings us on a safari filled with large headed smiling people being nice to fleshy limbed creatures whilst they wear red socks. Eggs on platters and deformed meat piles with cream and raspberries all set in the foreground of a lush calming floral field with mountainy backdrop.


You crack open a pig to get an egg to cook in the cosmos whilst two business men converse in the canteen but deep down inside a chicken man is paired up to fight a pig man smoking a cigarette in his underwear. Might sound absurd but it is no more absurd than the day to day trot-toils we are faced with in our everyday human lives.


Forms of communication change over time, new forms of language spread into the vox populi of human engagement where new means of symbolic gestures take form to express human emotions such as sadness, love, joy and misery. A popular form of communication now takes the form of emoticons or stickers used on smartphone technological handheld devices. Seishiro has gone about incorporating his characters into his own visual language through sticker language. The series 'Kemono My House!' is a collection of 40 stickers like combinations of arranged letters (words) communicate emotions albeit in Seishiro's uniquely idiosyncratic way they are filled with much of his unique witty droplets that you can send to loved one's at home or while their out driving their car.

MOOTART PROFILE : LEO YAMZ

Tuesday, 7th of  April, 2015
Love At First Sight (2015)
Second MOOT art profile looks at the work of Bruxelles based artist Leo Yamz

Images with elements, symbols, keys and colour in different combination's achieve different results in the brain of the human being. Images of order, serenity and meaningfulness play as the antithesis of chaos, turmoil and meaninglessness. The endless combinations create new reactions, the same combinations create the same reactions. The search and finding of and for new reactions, new feelings from various different nuances achieved in the combining of elements can titillate as well as repulse. With sturdy combinations new revelations materialise, images with a more ambiguous nature lead to digestations that result in new growths that formulate inside the lobes of the human cortex. These exist deep inside of what is known as dark matter or what is more commonly known as the twilight zone or also what can be found as a benign brain tumour.
Blower Bubble World
I watched Louis Malles Black Moon recently and felt such a ethereal resonance formulate; In the film to escape from "the war" the protagonist retreats to a farm house where she escapes into a fantasy world, a kind of Alice In Wonderland type scenario unfolds in the lovely house and surroundings. There is something very milky going on here, I could smell throughout much of the film, fine milk dust. A good image to someone Is the right set of combinations in the elements of the picture, when combined correctly to the viewers sense of cosmic ease dolphins are released and they foam over to the point where they can almost smell what is in the image, a form of pure immersion.
The Shamanic Dance Of Saint Anthony
Waking up one day after a night of sleeping I booted up my laptop turning it on. I saw that artist Ann Van Der Linden was linking to a tumblr blog page that showed up on my facebook news feed. Captivated by the tumbnails I hovered the mouse over clicking.

The page I clicked on documented art work by artist Leo Yamz. Yamz's work taps into the sanctity of our more fantastical times In primitive-base-absurdity. His work filled with dark humour, iconographic aesthetic 's reminiscent of the Old Testament, Alchemy drawings and furthermore into the subconscious of modern surrealist imagery. I found similar sensibilities in an old Graphis 101 my Father owned when I was a child with drawings from the late great Roland Topor; they were quite musty black and white images held together with yellowing tape, Topors images made a tremendous impression on my young mind. Yamz's drawings seemed to be coloured digitally and lit up by a computer screen but regardless the format the elements occupy a unique mind-scape making a similar impression In the way of Topor and Malle.

The images created by Yamz are filled with magic, his world based in oddity and expression of thought that conjured an inherent playfulness for human madness executed with graphic prowess. Making the right connections with my lobes a pleasant pathway found when rising from a day slumber and scrolling through his images with elder stumps Yamz's work stunk of something many times more delectable than the nightly curds.

Bobby Nixon's "Street Scene"

Friday, 3rd of  April, 2015

A new screenprint by Bobby Nixon is available from Loveclots.com. The Scottish artist took part in an exhibition UMPLEK as part of The Moot Art and Music Festival In 2013. The latest print shows a progression on themes of debauchery and decay.

"Nixon's recent work focuses on painting, print and drawing to depict small-scale figurative scenes. Images of violence, bestiality, murder, body dismemberment, UFOs, varicose veins, beer bottles, cola cans, dog shit, neds, black holes, crucifixions, megalomaniacs, serial killers and prophets are rendered together offering a nightmarish perversion of the human condition."
