ARTWORK
GAAAT's unique art expression: Metal Canvas Art
What is Metal Canvas Art?
Metal Canvas Art is a new art experience proposed by GAAAT. Each piece of metal canvas art is carefully handcrafted by expert artisans to provide an unique immersive experience that accentuates the three-dimensionality of the artwork while possessing the weight and beauty of metal materials. In addition, it offers superior durability, resisting sunlight and humidity, allowing its beauty to be enjoyed over a long period of time.
Outstanding expressiveness through proprietary technology
The special data design technology that divides digital data into 32 layers is utilized to achieve subtle expression of unevenness and color. As a result, you can feel the deep texture and three-dimensionality that you cannot find in conventional art works.

Comment
PALIMPSESTは、すでに記された文章を消し、その表面に新たな文字を書き重ねた羊皮紙を意味する。
この作品では、人物の衣服や髪、肌の周囲に、異なる文章や記号が入り混じるように表現したかった。
それらは人物を説明するための言葉のようにも見えるが、どれ一つとして完全な文章には見えない。
意味を失った言葉と、まだ意味を与えられていない言葉が、ただ一人の人間の表面を占めているだけである。
他者が与えた名前、自ら選び取った文章、そして忘れたと思っていた記憶が、互いを消し、覆い重なりながら、現在の姿を形作っている。
私たちは絶えず自分自身を書き換えていくが、以前の自分を完全に廃棄することはできないのだと感じた。
かつて読んだ言葉は身体に残り、表情や振る舞い、傷のかたちとなって再び現れることに近い。
飲み込んだ文章は消化されないまま、再び皮膚の上へと浮かび上がってくる。
