The reality of my life and my feelings directly connect with my vision. I have been challenging to paint exactly what
come into mind. For this exhibition, I try to stabilize the reality of my life, my expression by oil paints, and the
image I see in mind onto canvas.

Matsuda says that he becomes united with the world surrounding himself when he succeeds in painting or drawing
the images that appear in his mind before they disappear. Over time, his works have progressed in sophistication
and having accomplished expressing these pure images onto canvas. In STANBILIZATION, Matsuda’s fifth solo
exhibition at eN arts, observers will enjoy Mtsuda’s latest paintings in which he stabilizes those pure images with
touches of artistic elements. Matssusa’s bold compositions, powerful and persuasive brushstrokes, and unique color
combinations will remain embedded in observers’ mind. We hope you will enjoy Matsuda’s world.
