+ 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.
