Atsuo Yokoyama

Atsuo Yokoyama was born in 1989 in a farmhouse in Kanagawa Prefecture,Japan,and grew up in a family surrounded by nature and creatures from an early age.
Since that time,he has been immersed in an imaginary world and has been writing down the creatures of that imaginary world.
In his 30s,he began working as an artist in earnest and began sending out his works via Instagram,and in November 2019,he held his first solo exhibition at a rental gallery in Harajuku,Tokyo.Since then,he has been showing his works in various places.
For him,painting is a“language,”a“thought process,”an“experiment and challenge,”a“worry,”and a“key.Based on the premise of“enjoying the process of painting,”he continues to create and transmit his works with the theme of“creating a world inside the campus.

Atsuo Yokoyamaは1989年神奈川県の農家に生まれ、幼い頃から自然と生き物に囲まれた家庭で育った。
それ以来、彼は空想の世界に没頭し、その空想の世界の生き物を描いている。
30代から本格的にアーティスト活動を開始し、Instagramで作品を発信し始め、2019年11月、東京・原宿のレンタルギャラリーにて初個展を開催。各地で作品を発表。
彼にとって、絵を描くことは「言語」であり、「思考プロセス」であり、「実験と挑戦」であり、「悩み」であり、「鍵」。「キャンパス内に世界を創る」をテーマに作品を制作・発信し続けている。
