Description

Since 2018, we have frequently produced works on the theme of oiran. From the point of depicting oiran themselves faithfully to historical facts, I gradually added imaginary elements and depicted images of women living in their own unique worldview. One of these works is "Kagami" (mirror). Mirrors have long been considered to serve as a kind of gateway to other worlds. When a woman from another country or a modern woman from another time touches a mirror, the image of a woman who lived hard across history overlaps with it. These fantasy paintings were created at a time when we often ponder the proposition "what it means to live as a woman." ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤ

Concept

I don't let ART end up as ART.
In the course of my activities as a painter, I have painted in a variety of environments other than on canvas.
Sometimes on a large wall in the city, sometimes on a shutter in a shopping district. In the midst of all this, one thought became stronger day by day. There are still things my ART can do. ART is something that is there for a while, but sometimes it attracts people, connects them, and eventually they want it to "stay there forever". The dots of ART that I create connect one person, one second, and blend into the city, life, and history. That is the form of ART I am aiming for.
