RYOHEI MATSUMOTO (JPN)
born in 1988 in Yokohama, Japan
lives & works in Yokohama, Japan
Ryohei Matsumoto was interested in living things since his childhood and majored in life science at university. His creative motivation is the interest in the relationship between the living things necessary for living, such as the dependence on parents and other creatures and the relationship between predators and prey. He expresses the memory common to all living things lurking behind our consciousness in a chaotic world of beauty and ugliness.
