Line. The past and future of life, far beyond the night sky. It's not reality. Perhaps it can connect to another world. People, animals, the sky-all have been broken up into an infinite number of lines. Upon the paper, colors that transcend imagination are tinted, and impossible shapes are woven. That's what you will find in Egi's drawings.

Pencils, colored pencils, and crayons on the paper. Because he puts strength into drawing and makes sure everything he draws has feeling, he likes to use utensils that add strong strokes to the face of the canvas. With the way Ryota Egi makes even the color aspects of the accumulation of fine lines, it's more like "cutting" than it is "drawing." Though he is creating with his two dimensional art materials and techniques, it as if his pictures are greater than modern sculptures.

But to the artist Ryota Egi, only working on drawings is something that is incomprehensible. If he took off his clothes, you would see that his body is also one of his works. The desire to break into the world using paper, lines, and colors has invaded even his own skin. Sometimes he is encouraged by his bandmates to stand in front of his works, and he sings and plays the guitar. It is as if he were a religious leader. His face seems to reflect that, as his body's tattoos are perhaps like the nailed hands and feet of that savior. The lines from Egi's drawings ask stinging, burning questions about this world's absurd and mysterious things, and depend on the power of art to rescue our souls.
