Akira Ikezoe paints elaborate circular systems, narratives with no beginning or end. They often include power sources—the sun, a nuclear power plant, and methane from cow feces. Energy flows from these sources throughout the compositions according to Ikezoe’s own imaginative logic, illuminating connections between humanity and nature.
