About Ryo Shimizu

I have been working as a video artist since 2001. I have a wide variety of video genres. Movie, documentary, music video, corporate advertisement, etc. In addition, since 2018, I expanded the range of activities as artists including paintings and installations. The theme of my work is communication that does not go well. What I am most interested in is the appearance of clumsy people to communicate. They sometimes give birth to a tragedy or something with a wonderful radiance.That is exactly the moment the story is born. The film director thinks about various things before making the story a video work. I pay attention to the process of thinking and express the act of creation itself with painting works and installations.
