About

吉澤　究　Sadam Yoshizawa

Sadam Yoshizawa revolves around the theme of “discovery” that emerges from his work process. By gradually adding layers using the technique of layered resin on his paintings, an image from the overlapping traces suddenly appears in his mind, resulting in a completed artwork. Ultimately, the one who “found it” is both himself and the viewers who observe his work.
Sadam describes the concept of this series: “When he was a child, he saw a horror movie commercial and felt fear in the girl’s smiling mouth in the ad. He still remembers that fear, a beauty and fear that remains in his memory.”

1979年2月生まれ。宮城県仙台市在住。クロスハッチング、点描によるイラストレーション作品を多数制作。これまでスケートボードカンパニーを中心にクロージングブランド、ショップ等に多くの作品を提供。国内外で精力的に活動中。オリジナル作品も継続的に製作し定期的な個展の開催や合同展にも積極的に参加し発表の場にしている。

最近では活動分野をさらに広げながら型にハマらない表現手法、表現思考を日々のスケッチを通して探究し、自身の作品制作に繋げている。
