Showed at the The Other Art Fair
Artist featured in a collection
I am a Japanese American painter based in Los Angeles. While working in New York and Tokyo my conceptual works focused on music and dance. Music being a continuous inspiration in her work. "Why do sounds inspire me to make art?" To get to the bottom of this question I had to go back in time ... "What were the first songs I heard growing up as a child in Japan? - I wanted to re-discover all my J-Pop favorites!" The result is a new series of oil paintings "United Three Colors" - inspired by 10 Japanese pop songs. It was important to me to translate the emotional content of these Japanese songs into a timeless/universal arena. So for this series it made sense to work with a simplified palette: basic colors (strictly 3 colors per painting), basic geometric shapes and ... ANDROIDS! I realized that when I use androids with human bodily gestures I can express universal emotions devoid of politics, gender, race and nationality. I want my art to inspire people to show respect to civilization and lead a moral life. I want my paintings to remind people of all righteousness, beauty, and joy in the world - To quote a song title by Kome Kome Club: 'I'M JUST HAPPY YOU ARE HERE' (君がいるだけで)"
