"AULASY"
My work is the visual expression of the feelings and emotions we keep internal. If those subtle and invisible parts of ourselves could manifest visually what would they look like? How would these quiet expressions accompany a space and what form would our thoughts create? The compositions reflect the small spaces inside our minds. These paintings are visual examples of thoughts or memories, under the surface of what we express.

2024年1月の最初の滞在以来、一年越しに再びこの街へ帰ってきた彼は、 このたび12週間の滞在を経て本展示となりました。
「人間の目には見えないあいまい部分が輪郭を持つとしたら、それはどのようなものになるだろうか?」「その表現は、どのように空間と調和し、私たちの思考は何を形づくるのだろうか?」 コリーの製作はそのような問いに答えようとする試みであり、「表現」の水面下に存在する記憶や思考、人々が内に秘めている感情や感覚を油絵を通して視覚化しています。
