before the 7th

''Before the 7th'
The series aims to express the sharp contrast between the capitalist western world and the places where people still suffer, starve and are fighting for their lives. To enhance the impact the artist uses a similar format as in The Book of Revelation.' Naoki Fuku's arrangements are systematic as well as poetic, inviting the viewer to move into a space of speculation, while the feeling of modernity is hidden in these works. The subjects are placed in the canon of the western culture attempting to make visible what might be overlooked in today's modern life. Therefore each painting has its own topic being fed by the current world which in return is aimed to be investigated. The fact that modern reality is often blurred by the good time, people are having serves as an invitation for the artist to visualize the moments of people's unconscious ego while showing their comfort time.
