Tatsuo Kawaguchi — Stone and Light
Tatsuo Kawaguchi

Stone and Light

In *Stone and Light*, Tatsuo Kawaguchi challenges the primacy of vision in art by engaging with the unseen and the imperceptible. Rather than appealing solely to the eye, the work deepens and intensifies invisible darkness, pushing it further beyond the reach of sight. Through this gesture, Kawaguchi disrupts conventional artistic discourse and opens a space where the invisible itself becomes the subject of contemplation.

Medium
I don’t think visual art is necessarily just about the sense of vision… I am making the invisible darkness even more invisible, thereby making a breakthrough in the artistic discourse that prioritizes the issue of vision.
