    Description

    The theme of the "character" series is visualization. Concepts such as emotions, sounds, and smells are turned into characters. The characterized beings are replaced by self-portraits of the present and future. The artist's characteristic "endless line drawings" depict "invisible, but immediate and important things," such as emotions and sounds. I feel that the invisible fields are often hard to notice, but play a very important role in our surroundings. It is interesting to note that when we express the invisible in the visible form of art, we can feel a certain sympathy and nostalgia, even though they do not actually exist as a form. And they are always variable and never the same. I would be happy if the invisible things, which I have expressed with abstract line drawings in the past, are made more familiar to the viewer this time by taking the form of characters.

  • About this artist

    Concept

    Satoko Aoki's works are based on the theme of "invisible things" such as emotions, sounds, and smells. The mysterious line drawings, which seem to move back and forth "between concrete and abstract," are based on the "noise" that floods the artist's brain on a daily basis, and their continual fluctuation makes them a discovery each time they are viewed and keeps the viewer interested. What used to be a negative "noise" is transformed into a positive "sound" when expressed as art. Through his unique worldview, he continues to create artwork that tells a positive story and makes us feel positive. In recent years, using acrylic paint and canvas, which are popular materials for paintings, he has been creating works that incorporate many of the "advantages of dyeing" that he felt while dyeing, such as drawing lines like yuzen dyeing and reproducing the blurring and shibori that are characteristic of dyeing. As a former dyeing artist, this is a new attempt to "express dyeing without dyeing," focusing on the "concept" of dyeing.
