Stepping into Shinji Ohmaki’s studio feels like entering a realm where art, science, and philosophy converge. Ohmaki, known for his large-scale installations that explore themes of memory, perception, and the ephemeral, has created a space that is as much a laboratory as it is a sanctuary for creativity.
The studio reflects the dualities present in Ohmaki’s work—order and chaos, permanence and transience. Drafts and sketches are pinned methodically on one wall, while another is a collage of fragmented inspirations: photographs, materials, and artifacts. On long worktables, intricate prototypes and experimental materials sit in various stages of creation, evoking a sense of dynamic evolution.
Ohmaki’s creative process is deeply immersive. His works, such as the poetic Echoes Infinity series, push the boundaries of material and space, inviting viewers to interact and experience art as a shared, transient moment. This philosophy permeates the studio. Every tool, medium, and experiment serves a purpose, contributing to the delicate balance between concept and execution.
The space is imbued with quiet intensity—a reflection of Ohmaki’s dedication to exploring the human condition through art. Whether creating installations that mimic nature’s fleeting beauty or questioning the permanence of cultural memory, Shinji Ohmaki’s studio is where the intangible takes form, and the ephemeral becomes eternal, even if just for a moment.
