The most powerful energy in human society "Currency = money". Humans have prospered with the history of exchanging currencies, and various civilizations and histories have been derived from the process of prosperity and development. Paper money is the core energy in the [virtual world = artificial world] that drives human beings to create on earth. In this exhibition "Ukiyo-e Banknotes 2022", paintings based on Katsushika Hokusai's Ukiyo-e are lined up. The huge waves, Mount Fuji and part of the background are made of fragments of banknotes, suggesting that the nature depicted by Katsushika Hokusai is privatized and MONEY floods our lives. Three different platinums, gold, silver and copper, are used, corresponding to the currencies we use in our lives. The works appear to be the same as those painted by Katsushika Hokusai, but they are distinctly different. The artist interprets Hokusai's ukiyo-e works in a new way with the creation of banknotes. During the creative process, T is randomly pasting banknotes into the work in an unconscious way. This unconscious creation is called "Automatic Painting". "Even if you can draw the outline, you can't choose the content." This is the consistent creative idea of ​​TATAROS. It was the "meditation" he learned in his daily life. "My work is not a ready-made method devised by Marcel Duchamp, I create art based on experience... Duchamp's work is intellectual, but lacks the emotional part." TATAROS said.
