To “capture the void,” “to grab the reverse aspect of the matter,” such are the stakes of the spectacular work of the Japanese artist Yasuaki Onishi, born in 1979 in Osaka, where he lives and works to reverse our vision of the world, to permit us to “take a look at it from a special viewpoint.”&
Evoking, in flip, a frothy wave, a sea of clouds, and a mountain ridge, Yasuaki Onishi’s floating spaces transport us into a wierd world, that of unfavorable area, these empty, transitory spaces rising at the fringe of types; space-time in suspense – invisible types between varieties, intervals between objects – at the origin of the concept of Ma, at the basis of Japanese aesthetics that have made vacancy the cornerstone of all the arts.
“I'm concerned about invisible issues, akin to air, time, or gravity,” explains the champion of these “aerial spaces,” of which he applies himself to disclose the types hidden in the “hole of time,” the virtual existence deployed in an invisible means round and between the objects… Thus, in his Penetrating Panorama, he managed to make the intangible tangible, to offer type and consistency to the void with a minimalist sculpture of its random contours… In his Vertical Emptiness he implements an try and link two areas (prime and bottom) by vertical strains drawn in the void separating them, via a glue gun, from branches suspended from the ceiling… A wire community typically enhanced with fluorescent mild (one other immaterial material used by the artist) or a snowy powdering: in his Vertical Vacancy shown in 2013 at the Kyoto Artwork Middle, it's a landscape of enchantment that composes the curtains of rain of white threads falling from a chandelier of branches, powdered with snow, to the bottom composed by crystallization…
