Higashionna transforms the familiar motif of domestic curtains into painting, revealing the uncanniness concealed within everyday surroundings. Watanabe transforms ordinary scenes and existing images into painting, moving between figuration and abstraction, reality and fiction, to create new pictorial definitions of their own.
