Artist

Junichiro Ishii

By changing the background information, the Signifiant and Signifié are temporarily destroyed. ISHII creates his works as if he were reconstructing these deconstructed Signe. ISHII has no particular style in terms of methodology or material, but in each case, the inspiration from a place is visualized in its most honest form. These works resemble an unusual interpretation of the everyday or, more simply a kind of cultural sketch.
