\u201cAn Extension of Life\u201d, the experimental photographic work by Tetsuya Kusu, emerges from the convergence of space, time, creative practice, and inner consciousness. He employs photography to communicate with the external world, while using painting to address the internal movements of his own mind.<\/p>\n

Various elements overlap simultaneously; the existence of the artist in a specific space like Thailand, his interaction with local people through the medium of photography, and the layers of paint, where both mediums support and react to one another. The work embodies internal conflicts regarding the nature of art and the systems that dominate it on another level. All this information flows into and chaotically merges within the work, blending until the elements are inseparable.<\/p>\n

His ‘Thai-Thai’ style photographs capture unique characters, as well as strange objects and behaviors. Forming a central origin, the image radiates outward into layers of painting that frame it on all sides. This dynamic is extending boundaries toward layers of artistic medium in a different form. It serves as a dialogue of diverse artistic processes initiated by the artist to communicate with the external world, while echoing deeply into the complex landscape of the artist’s mind.<\/p>\n

Tetsuya Kusu, Japanese photo artist, has worked in diverse fields, ranging from advertising and magazines to architecture and underwater photography. He creates works that combine photography, painting, and various experimental art forms. His work has been exhibited widely in New York, Japan, Poland, and Thailand.<\/p>\n
