Night Jazz Painting

Kaoru Shibuta is a painter fascinated with sound. He improvises colors and shapes based on how sound appears. In our daily lives, we are influenced by our environment through our senses and perceptions. However, these influences often enter and leave us without our awareness, seemingly disappearing. Shibuta draws inspiration from something that unconsciously enters the senses and seems to disappear without form. As if in communion with them, this inspiration is expressed through shapes, colors, and materials, which are then placed within a space and allowed to circulate. The world connected by sound and music binds us together. Shibuta translates musical notes into paintings and installation art.
