In the drawings of Kizawa Youichi, bodies, objects and plants are scattered around without hierarchy in bizarre landscapes. Pictures drawn “as barren as possible, in a narrow kitchen.” Ultimately, this is a world of lines, where the least amount of pressure seems to have been applied to the pen, giving the image a sense of improvisation. The titles/captions read like short prose, straddling the line between the ordinary and the wondrous. English/Japanese text. 

With the publication of Final Fruit, Garganta Press inaugurates a new series of small books: b/w. Words + images, because “words are also something you look at, and images are also something you read.” — Michel Butor

Kizawa Youichi. Born in Gifu Prefecture, Japan in 1985. Currently living in Tokyo. I'm a lazy person, so I sometimes draw with ballpoint pen while lying down. I sometimes exhibit these drawings. Sometimes I also paint. Every day, I go to work, and to the park, to the park's smoking area. I've lived in small, fairly safe places since I was born. Until I became a young adult, I lived in a small mountain area with a dried-up stream, and now I live in a small, toy-like town in the city.

私はできるだけ不毛な絵を描いています。 狭い台所で。

I draw a barren picture as possible. In a narrow kitchen.
