Azumi Naito was born in 1983. He graduated from Art Department at Tokai University in 2002.His works include trans avant-garde style in high art and figurative paintings in neoexpressionism;he gets inspirations from low art contexts such as disk jackets, flyers, and streetactivities. To render these two elements together, he uses a combination of traditional oilpainting and street painting methods using spray and magic markers.Like Depaysement in Surrealism, the subject is arranged in an extraordinary and dynamic wayas an object. For example, in his work, house objects such as tables and sofas can be placed inannoying places such as pastures and foreshore. These compositions create a vague sense of space.
In recent years, he has been continuously updating expressions using drawing methods to show
physicality.
