Born in 1985 in Ehime, Japan, Kyohei Kyomori graduated from Istituto Marangoni in 2008. He aims to create a unique visual language by reinterpreting the ornamentation found in all forms of art from the East to the West through a contemporary perspective applied in his graphic works. Having thoroughly studied the role and nature of decoration in ceramics, architecture, clothing, and seals, Kyomori has transformed his work through a production technique rooted in the idea of handicraft. His works are the result of continuous reflection on the idea, aesthetics and decorative history. At a time when people are losing the human aspect of fundamentally using their own hands of modelling and expressing an object, Kyomori offers an opportunity to re-investigate human activity in our digital shift.
