谷口直正

谷口直正

A chef and artist based in Fukuoka Prefecture. While cooking by the sea in Itoshima, he overlays images onto the landscapes he encounters and creates abstract paintings inspired by the ocean. Exploring the harmony between the expressions of nature and lines, he values the common ground between painting and cooking: seeing, feeling, and experiencing. Through his work, he aims to create pieces that remain in the hearts of those who view them.
