Tsubakiyama Gallery has always hoped to present a diverse range of artistic practices; we do not set too many rules or judgments on the works, but rather hope that each art form and each work of art will find and inspire its audience.
This time, we present you a special "exhibition", which records a unique and humorous state of being in the process of working from home.
Introduction:
By Kei Kei
The legendary “nesting at home” new normal life has been going on for several months now.
During this period, I have tried to keep art practice with a highly serious spirit, but strangely enough, no matter how serious the initial idea is, the works always change into some kind of funny form in the end.
I was puzzled and even worried that I would never be able to create serious work again. However, just like painting bright sunshine on a cloudy day, or painting cool shade during hot summer, seeking for happiness is probably one of the human natures.
Therefore, I intend to preserve such a peculiar state of mind; to clean out a white wall above the fireplace, to hold an exhibition here, and to record it with my camera.
Above all, that was the original intention.

About the Artist:
Kei Kei is an experimental artist whose artistic concept is rooted in capturing individuals’ tacit sensations in fleeting moments. The artist’s works are performed in a way where the underlying messages are without being stated. The works are rich in introspection which carries the reflection of externals to one’s own thoughts, memories, and cultural identity.

By Kei Kei
白驹过隙，传奇一般的居家生活，已经进行了好几个月。
在此期间，我试图坚持非常严肃地进行创作，但奇怪的是，无论一开始的构思如何严肃，作品总是在创作过程中不由自主地转变成为某种搞笑的形式，俗称”沙雕”。
我曾百思不得其解，甚至有些担心，是不是再也不能创作出严肃的作品。然而，就像在阴天里画艳阳，在艳阳天里画阴凉，寻找快乐，大概是人类的一种天性。
因此，我打算把这样一种奇特的状态留存下来；因地制宜，打扫出来了壁炉上方的一面白墙，在这里举行一场展览，并用镜头把它记录下来。
以上，就是初衷。
