ARTIST
KOGA MIURA
Miura creates two-dimensional works based on the main themes of "coincidence" and "artifice/randomness." By using random numbers and written instructions at the decision-making stage, such as composition and color scheme, he eliminates conscious artifice. By doing so, the artist's work is purely random, and the blurring and coincidence of the output of the body are allowed to emerge. Just as a mechanically-drawn work following instructions has its own unique expression, he finds contingency even in the most ordinary days, and continues to work to affirm the irregularity of events.
