ARTIST INFORMATION
1964年栃木県生まれの現代日本画家。日本美術の伝統が彼の芸術活動の根幹をなしており、作品はその伝統を現代化するための探求である。選び抜いた顔料から、糊（藍染めで使用される “筒描き “の技法に似ている）を使った線の表現に至るまで多岐にわたる。それぞれが特定の日本の伝統にオマージュを捧げている。
Kan-Zan-Loc (b. 1964 in Tochigi, Japan) is a contemporary Japanese painter for whom the traditions of Japanese art are a fundamental part of his artistic practice. Each of his paintings is an exploration in making Japanese art traditions contemporary. It ranges from the pigments selected, to the use of a paste-like resist (similar to the Tsutsugaki technique used in the traditional Japanese indigo dying process for fabric) to create lines. Each plays homage to a particular Japanese tradition.
