+ OVERVIEW

Meguru Yamaguchi's sculptural paintings are

characterized by dynamic splashes that capture the

beauty of Japanese calligraphy, blended with the

energy of contemporary street art. His style reflects

his many years sojourn in the United States, where

he absorbed local street culture and studied modern

painting techniques. The artwork "Mobius No.12"

was first exhibited during the artist's 2021 solo

exhibition in Taiwan. It features grand, flowing linesthat fully embody the artist's internalization of various

cultural elements, creating a unique and personal

from of expression. In terms of technique, from, style,

and concept, Yamaguchi strives to "create something

that has never existed before!" Influenced by his

designer parents, his work also resonates with the

avant-garde spirit of Japan's Gutai art group, which

rejected conventional methods of creation. The artist

applies the innovative medium of epoxy resin to

shape three-dimensional visual effects, where vibrant

colors intertwine with the swift, dynamic movement

of abstract lines. This approach breaks free from the

limitations of traditional flat painting. The artwork

feels unrestrained, as if imbued with life, dancing

and perfroming in space as light and shadow play

across it. It consistently leaves a lasting impression on

viewers, evoking awe when experienced in person.

Meguru Yamaguchi embodies the advantages of a

new generation of artists growing up in a globalized



society. His creative language attracts cross-

disciplinary collaborations, with major international



brands like Issey Miyake, Nike, and Uniqlo eagerly

partnering with him. Notably, he designed the

unifroms for the Japanese men's table tennis team

at the 2024 Paris Olympics, further cementing his

prominent status in the art world.
