NotesThe artist Osamu Ochi (1936-2015) was a member of the avant-garde art group "Kyushu-ha," based in Fukuoka. He continued to express visions emanating from within as a solitary figure until his later years. In the late 1950s, he discovered asphalt and everyday items as materials for expression, causing a new sensation in the art world at that time. From the late 1960s, after experiencing a period in the United States, he created his unique painted spaces.
