Bishin JUMONJI: FACES
Editor's Note

The image which was printed on the direct mail reminded me of Francis Bacon, since specific parts of the upper side of the face above the nose were erased boldly. The whole face looked squashed. Nonetheless, most of his other works which are shown in this exhibition reconstitute three-dimensional human faces into two dimensions, as we often find in cubist works. In fact in many ways, the exhibits make me feel I have already seen them in that they are portrait-like photos, but I still feel uncomfortable about his creations in which human faces are deformed. This approach is not commonly found in portraits. (Translated by Nozomi Nakayama)
