About The Artwork

Kaonashi Girl (No-Face Girl) This is my original etching drawing and Ink painting on a clayboard titled “Kaonashi Girl”. It is inspired by Japanese children right before adolescence, feelings that I get (I see and feel) from other people and also feeling in my inner in Japan. This piece is not a portrait of a specific individual but rather I tried to depict something that lives in every one of us. Kaonashi girl is rather a portrait of impression of children who are still looking for their identity. At the same time, Kaonashi, or no face means non-sef in Buddhism. "I think no-self is another face of anatta, or "non-face", and that is why it is easy to find, feel, or experience in Japan living as a Japanese. I think Kaonashi or no face is not about our stupidity, rather it is shadow of highly interectual and emotional part of ourselves. Today's no face is new and old in history at the same time. But It is very difficult to make a portrait of it, our Kaonashi face."-N.G. Kaonashi Girl is a series of 5 x 7 inches etching drawing I make inspired by Japanese girls. -This is one of a kind original piece signed and title and made year on back. -It will be sent to the buyer in a steady cardboard box from my studio in Brooklyn.

Natsumi Goldfish is a Japanese visual artist and a painter born and raised in the suburban area of Tokyo, Japan. It was a place of between, where nature and urban culture and many different elements coexisted at that time. The environment had inspired her to believe in pluralism, or something close to the idea of being between and both. In 2013, Natsumi Goldfish received her BA in Art degree from Tyler School of Art, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA. Natsumi has been fundamentally interested in human being: human nature: what defines human as human: conscious and unconscious human behaviors seen in the history, in people who relate to her in various ways, as well as in herself in her everyday life. Natsumi’s works are created around ideas and questions she encountered while seeking answer to the question "what is human being", and the differences between human and other creatures. In 2017, Natsumi Goldfish had a solo exhibition in Koganei, Tokyo, and in 2018 two small solo exhibitions in New York City, and has been also selected in multiple group exhibitions in Tokyo, Philadelphia, and New York City. In 2010 she received the New Artist of The Year Awards, from Temple University Japan Campus. In 2018, her painting was featured in Alex Inc. (START UP), Pilot Painting, ABC TV Series. Today, Natsumi Goldfish lives and works in New York City. For a commission, and for any other inquiries, Please contact her at info@natsumigoldfish.com
