ビエン

Born in Tokyo in 1993.

BIEN’s artistic practice revolves around animation, focusing on the outlines of characters, symbols, and other elements. He deconstructs and reconstructs the shapes and meanings, creating abstract works. In recent years, his artistic expression has expanded across various media, including video, sculpture, instruction, and installation, while constantly questioning the notions of representation. Additionally, BIEN’s artistic approach often incorporates diverse cultural contexts, which has become a distinctive characteristic of his expression.
