A world of fluffy creatures and girls
The charm of Huangiku Shiku's works lies in the world where "living things" reminiscent of plankton and microorganisms coexist peacefully with a young girl.
Kigiku's worksdepict the workings of life and nature by blending the figurative girl and abstract life into each other.
According to Kigiku, the circles in her works are images of cells, the sun, souls, eggs, and living organisms, and each color, cold or warm, expresses the elements that create an environment that nurtures life.
The main motif of the work, a naked girl, is a symbol of a soul-like being that does not belong to any culture or context. The deformed cuteness and the sublime image that somehow transcends the mundane are appealing.
In addition to providing PV animation, design drawings, and package designs for musician Kikuo's works, she also composes, sings, and designs for the music unit Ikitama. His multifaceted activities also make him a remarkable artist.
