Lui Nemeth

Biography:

Born in 1987 in Tokyo, Japan, Lui Nemeth is a multidisciplinary artist intrigued by the process of making. Graduating from Central Saint Martins in London in 2010, she currently lives and works in Tokyo, Japan.

Having her first solo exhibition, entitled “Oil on Paper”, in 2016 at Cale in Higashiazabu, Tokyo, displaying a series of works on paper aimed at translating specific sounds into colour, Nemeth would renew the experience a year later with a series of works on linen, entitled “Portraits”, abstractly depicting vital movements.

Blending and merging different art forms together in order to generate a completely unique expression, Nemeth’s artworks and creations, while presenting in great part an underlying structure, are heavily reliant upon a free-form, ever-evolving process.

Focused on the act of painting in itself, on paint in its pure physicality, rather than on the finished image; concentrated on the succession of uncertainties and subsequent possibilities within the musical gesture rather than the completed, recorded piece, Nemeth’s vision is that of a world as making, one which finds its purpose in doing rather than being done.
