The artworks of Ryota Matsumoto develop and demonstrate the
hybrid/multi-layered process, where varying scale, juxtaposition of different
forms, intertwined textures/tones are applied to reflect the spatio-temporal
conditions of our ever-evolving urban, natural, and ecological environments.
They are created to act as the catalyst for defining speculative changes in
our notions of cities, societies and cultures. His drawings explore a hybrid
drawing technique combining both traditional media (ink, acrylic, and
graphite) and digital media (algorithmic processing, scripting and image
compositing with custom software). All the lines, curves and forms are
created by algorithmic and generative processes. Then they are redefined
and reconfigured with traditional painting/drawing techniques that add
colors, textures and details to compositions.
Ryota Matsumoto is a principal of an award-winning design firm, Ryota
Matsumoto Studio based in Tokyo. He is an artist, designer and urban
planner. Born in 1972, Ryota was raised in Hong Kong and Japan. He
received Master of Architecture from University of Pennsylvania in 2007
after studying at Architectural Association in London and Mackintosh
School of Architecture, Glasgow School of Art in early 90’s. His art and built
work are featured in numerous publications and exhibitions
internationally. His current interest gravitates around the embodiment of
cultural possibilities in art, architecture, and urban topography.
