Thank you for watching our video.

Every time I see Mr. Ohya’s work, I am drawn in by his fascination with black.

I myself do not make prints, so I am nearly ignorant of the technical details, but I like to look at prints.

The artists’ printmaking techniques are so advanced that it is fun just to ask them how they do it and to think about it.

In addition, prints that are often printed on paper also look different depending on the frame.

If matting is used, the color should match the work, and the width of the frame should be narrow or wide. Framing without a mat to show the entirety of the paper is also beautiful. There is also a way to put it on a panel and not frame it, so there are many possible patterns to match the work.

In Mr. Oya’s exhibition this time, simple wood-grain frames are used to enhance the works while showing them in a variety of ways.

I believe that all the frames could have been matched to create a sense of unity as an exhibition. However, I personally appreciated the various frames used in this exhibition because it made it easier to envision the works hanging in a room.

Please try watching the video while imagining the works shown in the exhibition in your own entrance, living room, bedroom, etc., so that you can see the works more familiar to you!
