Common Questions for the 9 Artists Performing Live Painting at "SOUL CAMP 2018 at ISETAN"

--When you hear the themes "SOUL CAMP" and "hip hop," what kind of painting do you imagine you'll be painting?

"I try not to be too conscious of it. I personally like artists with a broad perspective who aren't bound by genre. I hope to be able to express my own unique style through my own interpretation."


--Please tell us about your enthusiasm for performing a "live painting" in the unusual environment of Isetan Shinjuku.

"I'm really happy that my work will be seen by a large number of people, and that it will give me the opportunity to interact with people from cultures that I don't normally interact with. I think there are people who are particular about being underground, but I want to act on my own merits and be open-minded, so if the opportunity arises, I'd like to actively go out into wider circles."


--What aspects of your work do you want customers to see?

"I think that's up to the viewer. I have a clear message I want to convey, but I hope that people will see it and feel something through their own filter. I don't want to force my opinions on others, and for example, with movies or music, even though the creator has a certain intention, I think the recipient receives something that is infinitely different. I think that's fine with art."
