Namonaki Sanemasa
Born in Fukuoka Prefecture in 1994, based in Fukuoka. Since 2015, he has been primarily active on Twitter using the acquired account @sanemasa5x. He creates works that reflect his interest in images and anime characters circulating on the internet, as well as an aesthetic influenced by technologies such as touch panels and social media platforms.
By combining images collected from the internet, he produces works where creation and searching occur in real time. These pieces, including the act of creation and the processes leading up to it, are presented as pastoral landscapes of the internet age. In addition to paintings, he also produces and exhibits a diverse range of works including installations, sculptures, and video pieces.
