“Hiroyuki Nisougi is a painter living in Japan who started painting with simple bitmap painting tools for BBS on the internet in early 2000, and later extended his digital painting techniques and ideas to analog paintings, working regardless of the boundaries between digital and analog. He uses pixelated hand-drawn lines and a digital eraser tool that leaves no marks, confusing the viewer’s eye and bringing a unique tension to his innocent drawing style. I also feel from his paintings, like ‘Nashi,’ that he continues to paint with the pure joy and excitement he felt when he first encountered digital tools.” —exonemo<br/>“most beautiful.” —hiroyuki nisougi
