Concept

When we learn of the dizzying events happening outside our homes, we feel a sense of déjà vu, like looking at a long picture scroll, and at the same time, we become aware that we are always being watched from above.
It’s like when you look into the baby monitor you installed at home for your child, it feels like a gaze of compassion directed at the entire space, or it feels like you’re being watched over by the moonlight shining into the room from the window. Brings a sense of comfort.
In this work, the entire painting is illuminated by bluish moonlight as a way of imagining the story from a bird’s-eye perspective, and within that light, the inseparable relationship between the girl and the animals is depicted from a close-up perspective.

Concept

Miyu Yamada creates works which project the beings which live between the gaps of the currents of time periods and society. She uses materials like soil as an intermediate existence between the city and nature, capturing the characteristic untethered, floating feeling and evasiveness of the modern person.

She develops a series of works based on drawings with raised lines and works using pastels. The creatures that appear in her works are depicted as the viewers themselves as well as Yamada herself as she looks at the rapidly changing times and intersecting societies.

Concept

She creates works based on her interests and the questions that arise from her surroundings and dialogues. She has been focusing on creating a number of paintings that are mainly based on the human will.
Since her solo exhibition “Addition to Traces,” held in 2020, in which she drew on the belongings of others, her interest in people living in the present has grown stronger, and she has repeatedly recorded (created) trivial changes in the world that unfold in front of her eyes as parts of her works, in real time.
She agrees with the words of numerous painters who have told her that “to live is to paint,” and she works with her brush in her studio every day.

Concept

Sugita consistently paints “light.”
City lights emerging from the darkness, vividly flashing neon signs—light serves as a symbol of life and a place of peace for humanity. Through her brushwork, she portrays the irrationalities and fragilities of modern society, aiming to reveal the issues underlying various phenomena and situations.

1996 Born in Aichi
2021 Master’s Course in Visual media course at Graduate school of Kyoto University of the Arts

Since my early days, I have been creating works using self-images based on my external features, such as my makeup.
In recent years, the self-image that has been the subject of my work until now has been abstracted into an image of femininity and shadows – driven by premonition and dreaming – and expressed through the act of line and burning. The images applied to various materials appear as if they were already there, inviting the viewer into a new-primitive world.
From 2022, the two series will merge into a new form of expression.

In recent years, she joined group exhibitions including “KUA Annual 2021 irregular reports: a group of tortuous reports and signs of hope” (Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, 2021).
