Profile
OZAWA was born in 1965 in Tokyo and currently resides in Saitama Prefecture. While still a student at Tokyo University of the Arts, he began making a series of photographs in which he placed a small handmade statue of Jizo, a guardian deity, in various landscapes. From 1993 he created his “Nasubi Gallery” series, in which milk delivery boxes were converted into miniature portable galleries, and his “Sodan Art” series. From 1999, he created the “Museum of Soy Sauce Art,” with recreations of famous paintings in soy sauce, and from 2001 he launched “Vegetable Weapons” – photographs of women from different countries holding “guns” made from vegetables. His major solo exhibitions include “Answer with Yes and No!” at the Mori Art Museum (2004) and “The Invisible Runner Strides On” at Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art in 2009.
