《Statement》

One of the themes of the Matsueda work is to shape an "impossible moment." To illustrate this theme, his works consist of 3-dimensional solids born from motifs protruding from 2-dimensional planes.

Matsueda completed his BFA and postgraduate coursework in crafts at Tokyo University of the Arts and has since been active as a 3D artist.

Although Matsueda's parents run a printing company in Japan, his interest has been in printing equipment and 3-dimensional solids rather than 2-dimensional prints. Nevertheless, his childhood memories and aesthetic senses still retain a natural affinity for his parents' printed products. Matsueda's recent work express motifs from 2-dimensional planes that protrude and encompass 3-dimensional spaces. The author seeks to overcome the limitations of the printing industry and its products -- planar objects.

The cards are chosen as the motif because they have a long history as the world's most popular type of cards. The cards consist of four suits and marks from Ace to Ten and patterns from Jack to King. The four suits are refined as designs from around the world, and the patterns are represented by members of the royal family and their related occupations. The artwork of each pattern depicts an individual outside of his or her daily life and vacationing. It is also one of Matsueda's themes that change will occur simply by stepping out of one's current situation.
