1983年生まれ。普段は吹田市にある施設で古紙の資源回収や花壇整備などの仕事に勤しみながら、帰宅後、制作に時間を取る。
新聞折込広告の裏やカレンダーの裏など、ツルツルとした質感を持つ紙が好きで、その上をフェルトペンが滑る触感を楽しんでいるかのように線を引く。当初はフォークリフトやブルドーザーといった重機車両を抽象的な模様のように描いていたが、次第に線の密度も高まり、何層にも重なるような面的な作品に変化してきた。そして現在、作者の表現は、モチーフや絵画という様式に捉われない触感の戯れに移りつつある。

Ryohei Hashimoto (born 1983) works in Suita, Osaka. He has several daytime jobs; collecting paper for recycling and gardening, and he makes artworks in his free time.
He likes smooth, coated paper such as the back of flyers found in newspapers or the back of calendars. He makes line drawings on them enjoying the feel of felt tip pens sliding on the smooth surface. In the beginning, he drew heavy machinery such as forklifts and bulldozers as if they were abstract patterns. The lines in his works gradually became denser and his works changed into solid plane drawings that have many layers. Presently, Hashimoto’s expression is shifting to a play with a sense of touch, free from motifs and any painting styles.
