Born 1970, Gifu, Japan. One of the leading contemporary artist of the new generation, Omaki’s bases his works on installations that play with conjuring up ambiguity of two spaces which audiences usually sense as completely severed; the “artistic” (one of the installation) and the “real” space (one of our everyday lives). One example of which is where he installed hands that hold on to straps, as if on the train, within the gallery/exhibition space. The “artistic” space intervening in the mundane spaces we experience daily is his main concern and interest which create subconscious confusion and uneasiness on part of the audience who experience the created space.
In 2006, Omaki participated in the Ssamzie Space Studio Program as a residency artist. Omaki currently lives and works in Tokyo.

1970年生于日本岐阜。新生代的一名重要当代艺术家，大巻伸嗣主要创作是一种装置作品，该装置与两个用奇幻的不明空间互动，在这两个空间里观众常常感觉完全被隔离；“艺术”（其中的一个装置）和“真实”空间（我们每天生活的场所之一）。其中一个例子就是他在一个画廊/展览空间里布置了很多“手臂”，手臂握着吊带，像是在火车上一样。穿插在我们每天日常生活普通空间里的“艺术”空间是他最关心和感兴趣的地方，他试图为一部分在这个空间里体验的人们制造下意识的混乱和不安情绪。2006年，大巻伸嗣作为进驻艺术家参加了Ssamzie空间工作室计划。大巻伸嗣目前生活和工作在东京。
