学際的・多視点的アプローチ 

絵画、映像（切り絵アニメーション）、音楽、デザイン、空間インスタレーションなどを横断して制作しています。共感覚を活かし、視覚だけでなく音や時間感覚を統合することで、「時空（spacetime）」をテーマとした没入感のある世界観を生み出しています。また、自然や動植物に宿る「生命の気配」やアニミズム的な感覚を大切にしながら、現代科学や異文化の要素も包摂し、文明を超えた包括的な視点を提示しています。

​

心に寄り添う柔和さと包容力ある作風 

コンテンポラリー・アートに散見される過剰なコンセプト主義やタブーの視覚化、あるいは内面の吐露にとどまる表現とは一線を画し、真の美しさや優しさ、包み込むような温かみ、そして生命の力強さを重視しています。

鑑賞者からは「心が落ち着く」「新しい時代のアートを感じる」といった声が多く寄せられています。​

グローバル化やデジタル化、分断が進む現代において、私の場合においては、日本的な感性やアニミズム的視点を基盤とした、とらわれのない「新たなる芸術」を模索しています。過去・現在・未来を横断する「時空」の感覚を提示し、現代美術が時に見失いがちな「美しさ」「癒し」「精神性」を伝統から学び直すことで、独自の視点での人間性の回復、アートに「魂」を取り戻すことを目指して活動しています。

About “Post-Contemporary”

By Shuzo Hiroyasu

​​​​​​The term “Post-Contemporary,” which I define and advocate, does not merely refer to a chronological period “after contemporary art.” Rather, it serves as an antithesis to the historical frameworks that contemporary art has established, as well as the inherent limitations of the art system as a whole—including ideologically biased academia, research, and its deep entanglement with media and business. It symbolizes an attitude that seeks a new form of art, liberated from existing dominance and conventional frameworks.

​

This phrase emerged from a formative experience around 2010 and subsequent reflection, and I began proposing it in 2019 alongside the launch of my creative artistic activities. It is deeply linked to the central pillar of my artist statement: transitioning from "securing humanity in the AI era" to "acquiring a new form of humanity in the AI era."

Revisiting and Reconstructing Traditional Spirituality and Aesthetics

As embodied by the phrase "scion of the eccentric" (Kiso no Koin), I reinterpret and reconstruct the traditional aesthetics of Japanese art—its harmony with nature, playfulness, sense of wonder, and gentle yet earnest spirituality—within a contemporary context. Rather than simple nostalgia, grounding these traditions as a foundation for the future is what I consider my unique artistic identity.

​

While my own practice is grounded in Trans-Pacific values and Japanese art from the Jomon period through the pre-modern era, I believe that ”Post-Contemporary” itself should ultimately be rooted in each creator's unique aesthetic sensibility and cultural background.​

An Interdisciplinary and Multisensory Approach

My work spans across painting, video (cut-out animation), music, design, and spatial installations. Leveraging synesthesia, I integrate not only visual elements but also sound and temporal perception, creating immersive environments centered on the theme of "spacetime." Furthermore, while cherishing animistic perceptions and the "presence of life" within nature and living beings, I also incorporate elements of modern science and diverse cultures, offering a holistic perspective that transcends civilization

A Gentle, Comforting Style That Resonates with the Heart

Distancing myself from the excessive conceptualism, visualization of taboos, and mere output of inner turmoil often seen in contemporary art, my work places deep value on genuine beauty, gentleness, an all-encompassing warmth, and the vital strength of life. Many viewers have remarked that the art brings them a sense of inner peace and allows them to feel the pulse of a new era.
