For Paris Internationale Milano, Ciaccia Levi will present a solo show by Japan artist Ibuki Inoue (Kanagawa, 2002), marking the artist’s formal début. Inoue’s paintings convey thoughts and visions through a delicate, almost fleeting line. His partially fragmented figures suggest a presence that is at once personal and collective, where fragility becomes a source of quiet intensity.
“I paint trivial incoherent moments that I encounter in my life, and what I was feeling in the moment, that would be forgotten if I didn’t paint them. There are no specific models for the people who appear in my paintings. I try to paint people as vague humans that are also myself, yet nobody at the same time.” - Ibuki Inoue
