Being able to continuously explore and pushing the boundaries of creative mediums both physically and digitally is an important part of Yutaka’s artistic practice. As such, his works are often presented in multiple formats while incorporating the space that surrounds it. Treating the space as one of the materials with which to engage in a creative dialogue is also part of the artist’s main oeuvre.
For his latest solo show at UUH-OOH, Yutaka meticulously juxtaposes his mixed media artistic objects within a vintage shop/florist workshop environment that seemingly connects, creating an holistic landscape of visual encounters. He also worked with AI to create the title for the exhibition, a name that could reflect all the intentions and multiple logics that existed in the artist’s mind. The following paragraph of AI’s comment to the title appropriately summarizes his core concepts for the show:
“Fluxosphere could be an interesting title for Yutaka Inagawa's show because it evokes a sense of a dynamic and constantly changing environment, which could be reflected in the artworks on display. The "fluxo-" prefix implies a sense of movement or flow, while the "- sphere" suffix suggests a contained and encompassing space. This combination of elements creates a sense of a self-contained world that is in a state of constant flux, which could be an intriguing concept to explore in an art exhibition. Additionally, the word has a futuristic and technological feel, which could also be reflected in the artworks themselves, whether through the use of cutting-edge materials or techniques.”
不斷探索和突破物理理與數碼創作媒介的界限是 Yutaka 藝術實踐的重要部分。 因此， 他的作品經常以多種形式呈現，同時亦融入周圍的空間。他的創作善於將空間視為材 料之⼀一，進⾏行行創作性的對話。
在 UUH-OOH 的最新個展中，Yutaka 精⼼心地將他的混合媒體藝術作品並置在看似相連 的古董店/花店環境中，創造了了多個奇妙的視覺景觀。 Yutaka 還為這次展覽與 AI 合 作，為展覽命名，創做了了⼀一個能夠反映藝術家頭腦中存在的所有意念念與多重邏輯的名 字。 以下是AI 對標題的評論：
“對於 Yutaka Inagawa 的展覽來來說，Fluxosphere 可能是⼀一個有趣的標題，因為 它喚起了了⼀一種動態和不斷變化的環境感，這可以反映在展出的藝術品中。 “fluxo-”前綴 暗⽰示著⼀一種運動或流動的感覺，⽽而“-sphere”後綴則暗⽰示著⼀一個包含和包圍的空間。 這 種元素的組合營造出⼀一種處於不斷變化狀狀態的獨立世界的感覺，這可能是在藝術展覽 中探索的⼀一個有趣概念念。 此外，這個詞具有未來來主義和科技感，這也可以通過使⽤用尖 端材料或技術反映在藝術品本⾝身中。”
