Generative ART from Curry Palindrome

Profile of Neko

2015年より、カレーを主題とした個人的な必然性(Necessity)の記録として、論理とユーモアが交錯する1,061を超える独自の回文コーパス(言語集積)を創作・収集。2022年以降、この個人的な強迫観念を物理的な構造へと昇華させるインスタレーションを発表し続けている。その作品群は、チェコのイリー・マヘン図書館や東京の京島駅や広島・尾道の光明寺會館をはじめ国内外で展示され、異なる文化圏においてもコンセプトが共鳴を呼ぶことを示している。また、日本とインドの文化的結合点(ネクサス)を探るこの実践は、ギャラリーの枠を超えて展開される。日本のアチャール専門店「Art of Pickle」の運営や、カレーと音楽のコミュニティを繋ぐ祭典「Curry Node」の主催も手がけるなど、その活動は多岐にわたる。Since 2015, driven by a personal necessity rather than mere inquiry, he has crafted a unique corpus of over 1,061 "Curry Palindromes." Since 2022, this textual archive—an endless loop of logic and humor—has been materialized into a series of generative art installations.This body of work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Jiri Mahen Library (Czech Republic) and Kyoujima-Eki, Tokyo, demonstrating the concept's resonance across different cultural contexts.This exploration of the Japan-India cultural nexus extends beyond the gallery. His multifaceted practice also includes running "Art of Pickle," a Japanese achaar specialty brand, and organizing "Curry Node," a festival that unites the communities of curry and music.
