Exhibition Plan Summary
I am trying to create an exhibition where I prepare dozens of small oil painting canvases and lay them out horizontally and vertically to form one large painting (canvas collage). I wanted to display brightly colored paintings in a wooden Japanese house.
Biography
京都市立芸術大学大学院を修了後、文化庁海外芸術家派遣でニューヨークのISCPに参加、渡米する。抽象絵画を基礎として、コラージュ、写真も同時に取り組み、交互作用する制作スタイルを継続している。仕事としてZarina Hashmiのヘッドプロダクションアシスタントを彼女の生涯最後の１４年間務める。日本での展示は、VOCA’98/上野の森美術館、セゾンアートプログラムアートイング東京2000などがあり、ニューヨークではChashama Lobby Gallery、mhPROJECTnycでの個展、Queens International 2006, NY日本人女性作家１６人展などのグループ展がある。
After completing graduate school at Kyoto City University of Arts, she traveled to the United States to participate in ISCP in New York as an overseas artist dispatched by the Agency for Cultural Affairs. Based on abstract painting, she also works on collage and photography at the same time, continuing a production style that interacts with each other. As part of her job, she was Zarina Hashmi's head production assistant for the last 14 years of her life. Exhibitions in Japan include VOCA'98/Uenonomori Art Museum, Saison Art Program Arting Tokyo 2000, and in New York, solo exhibitions at Chashama Lobby Gallery and mhPROJECTnyc, Queens International 2006, NY Exhibition of 16 Japanese Female Artists, etc.
Artist Statement
太陽や月や星、またその自然現象に対する人間の憧れや脅威は、今生きている私達だけが感じてるものではなかったと思います。古代の人も同じように空を見上げ、「私たちは誰で、どこへ行くのか」という人間存在の問いかけを同じように繰り返して来たと想像しています。私は人間が感じているこのような原初的な思いや、永遠の自然現象に対する熱望や情熱に向けて作品を作りたいと思っています。
I don't think that the admiration and threat that humans feel toward the sun, moon, stars, and their natural phenomena is felt only by those of us living today. I imagine that ancient people looked up at the sky in the same way and asked the same questions of human existence, "Who are we and where are we going?'' I want to create works that address the primitive thoughts that humans feel, as well as the aspirations and passion for eternal natural phenomena.
