    Their collaboration, "inspired by doodling while waiting for a table," is cute, dynamic, and free!
    Nekotiaki has reunited for the first time in five years and will hold its first exhibition!

    Using acrylic gouache and various materials such as buttons, lace, and candy packages, the artist paints a wonderland that every girl must have longed for at one time or another. She won the "Yayoi Kusama Award" at the UNIQLO Creative Award. She won the Grand Prix at "canvas@sony2012. Currently, she is challenging technology x art performance, which is a departure from drawing.

  • DMOARTS in JR KYOTO ISETAN

    2019. 8. 28 Wed. - 2019. 9. 17 Tue.

    2019.8.28 Wed. - 9.17 Tue.
    OPEN 10:00 - 20:00

    Produced by DMOARTS


    [Artist]
    Saki Matsumura
    Completed Master's program in Painting, Department of Art, Kyoto University of Art and Design in 2017. Selected for "Turner Acrylic Gouache Biennale 2017" and "Tokyo Wonder Seed 2017." Combining acrylic painting, silkscreen, and stencil, he attempts to visualize abstract concepts in his painting works with complex layers and three-dimensional effects. The expression that creates the illusion of a relationship between earth and figure, and the matiere that emphasizes the unevenness of the surface by spraying, create a gap between the viewer's perception and the reality, making the viewer aware of the distortion of his perception.
    https://dmoarts.com/artists/saki-matsumura/


    Masako Nakahira
    Using ubiquitous landscapes and people as motifs, he depicts in oil paintings fleeting, transient scenes that are not clearly visible, but certainly exist. His works are divided into several series, each of which has a different theme, but his method of expression is consistently simple and evokes images in the viewer. He regularly exhibits his works mainly in the Kansai area.
    https://dmoarts.com/artists/masako-nakahira/


    Ryoki Kurasaki
    The artist paints portraits based on oil paintings and burns the eyes of the painted figures. He attempts to pursue the reality of the painted motifs by using the phenomena and materials generated by burning the canvas, the exposed space, and the compositional elements of the canvas itself.
    https://dmoarts.com/artists/ryoki-kurasaki/


    Yuma Yamashiro
    An artist active mainly in the Kansai region. He studied Western-style painting at university, and now creates semi-physical works and three-dimensional structures. His original visual works, which resemble architectural models, are influenced by architectural structures and urban design. He captures real and unreal things from a bird's eye view and composes them in a single image.
    https://dmoarts.com/artists/yuma-yamashiro/


    Frankie Cihi
    Born in Tokyo in 1988, half Japanese and half American, graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 2010. Her work, which was inspired by the identity loss she experienced during her college years, is always with an awareness of "Harmony". Her somewhat nostalgic yet fresh motifs and use of color represent "glocalization" rather than globalization, which continues to diversify even today. His works are not limited to canvas, but include a wide range of expressions such as murals and live painting, and he has participated in collaborations with various companies such as Starbucks, Instagram, Adobe, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, etc. In 2014, he appeared on Fuji Television's reality show "Terrace House and later appeared on "Odoru Sanma Goten," "Fukaii Hanashi," and "Tetsuko's Room. Currently based in Tokyo, he is developing his work globally.

    Waters Taking the words of Mencius of the Shuji Hyakke (The Hundred Families of the Buddha) as the origin of our name, we have a design factory and a select store in Okinawa. It is generally considered a bad thing for beliefs, concepts, and messages to become blurred. However, we take the attitude and attitude of "We are willing to change in order to move forward" and "We move forward despite the blurring" as common sense within our organization. In addition to the chinoise bag "SUI," Jingdezhen porcelain and new art pieces from "Komintern" will be exhibited.

    【Exhibiting Artists】
    Hanako Kimura
    Born in Kyoto and currently lives in Osaka. Graduated from Doshisha University, Faculty of Letters, Department of Aesthetics and Art. Photographer.
    UNKNOWN ASIA 2018 Grand Prix.
    Awarded the 16th Photography "1_WALL" Jury's Encouragement Prize (selected by Atsumi Kikuchi).
    He regularly creates works on the theme of touching the vast gray zone that lies between the two extremes of "existence" and "non-existence" with the help of photography. In recent years, he has been working not only with photography, but also with three-dimensional works, drawings, and installations.
    https://digmeout.net/artists/hanako-kimura/

    Saki Matsumura
    He completed his master's degree in painting at Kyoto University of Art and Design in 2017.
    Selected for "Turner Acrylic Gouache Biennial 2017" and "Tokyo Wonder Seed 2017." Combining acrylic painting, silkscreen, and stencil, he attempts to visualize abstract concepts in his paintings with complex layers and three-dimensionality.
    The expression that creates the illusion of a relationship between the earth and the figure, and the matiere that emphasizes the unevenness of the surface by spraying, create a gap between the viewer's perception and the reality, making the viewer aware of the distortion of his or her perception.
    https://dmoarts.com/artists/saki-matsumura/

    Taisuke Kondouh
    In 2018, he graduated from Kyoto University of Art and Design, Graduate School of Art and Design, Painting Area.
    He creates works by confronting the screen with the unique human elements of memory and emotion, converting them into the energy of "color. On the screen, where space is divided by the color plane, the complex inner feelings of people are condensed, creating images that seem to resonate with each other. He uses a method of production in which he fills syringes with mediums and acrylic paints, which he has calculated and blended in advance, and injects them onto the canvas through needles.
    https://dmoarts.com/artists/taisuke-kondouh/

    Masaya Daito
    Kyoto Seika University Graduate School is currently enrolled.
    At first glance, Daito's sculptures are made of materials that are recognizable as glass bottles, but they are no longer inorganic industrial products, but rather organic and life-like forms of the human body.
    The inside of the kiln, which cannot be intervened by a third party, is regarded as a single cosmic space, and the artist expresses a new point of view by deforming it by chance according to the laws of nature, that is, the nature of glass that melts at high temperatures and the force of gravity.
    https://digmeout.net/artists/masayadaito/

    Kurumi Kotani
    In 2019, he will graduate from Kyoto University of Art and Design, Graduate School of Art and Design, Painting Area.
    He creates paintings on the theme of relationships, signs and traces of existence.
    In her signature series of paintings, "21g," the entire screen is envisioned as a "window," with traces of someone's touch on the condensed glass surface. Her interest in mystical and supernatural phenomena has led her to create paintings reminiscent of scenes from horror films, bringing to the surface the presence of an unseen and uncertain entity.
    https://digmeout.net/artists/kurumi-kotani/

    Jasmine Noda
    Born in 1996 in U Thai, Thailand and came to Japan in 2003. Ceramic artist.
    He will receive the President's Award at the Kyoto Seika University 2019 Graduation and Completion Works Exhibition for "Memory Swan 04/Prayer," which was created on the theme of the landscape of his home country, religion and crafts, ceramics and contemporary art.
    He established HAKUHA PROJECT, which presents the form of ceramic art in line with the times while creating art works with ceramics as a craft. He is also an art producer.

  • Haruka Kanzaki Solo Exhibition “ON THE WAY BACK HOME”

    2019. 6. 14 Fri. - 2019. 6. 27 Thu.

    2019 6/14 Fri. - 6/27 Thu.
    10:00-21:00(Closes at 6:00 p.m. on the last day only)

    Reception Party 6/15 Sat. 19:00-
    Gallery Talk 6/15 Sat. 19:00-



    DMOARTS is pleased to present "ON THE WAY BACK HOME," Haruka Kanzaki's second solo exhibition at DMOARTS, following last year.
    Kanzaki is a designer / illustrator based in Tokyo.
    The rhythm of the sharpness and blotting of the ink is pleasantly rhythmic, and the artist draws up a fresh and light depiction of the mundane.
    Last year, he participated in the art book "digmeout 07" and has been involved in various commissioned works.

    The works expressed in this exhibition are based on stories that came to the artist's own mind.
    It's like something you've seen before for everyone, or seen on your travels.
    For some, it is on the way to somewhere, and for others, on the way home.
    We hope you will enjoy the stories that fold over and over in the days that follow.



    [Artist Statement]
    It is a Saturday morning at the beginning of April. Another all-night day is over, and I open the window that has been closed for days. On the TV, which I had left on instead of a clock, the weatherman or announcer is excitedly talking about the early summer weather.
    Before I know it, the cherry blossom season is over, and my winter clothes, which have not been put away, are cramped and shriveled up in the corner of my bed.

    Woman. It's so warm, I wish I could go to the beach, or if I didn't have a deadline today, I'd totally go to the beach," I mutter to myself as I push the scraps of paper on the floor into the trash.

    Next scene. The woman is in a car crossing a bridge. The windows are fully open and loud music is playing in the car. She is wearing sunglasses, so we cannot see her expression, but she is humming a tune.

    I painted this exhibit, wondering what would happen.
    Where are you going?" I want to travel endlessly, saying things like, "Umm, I'm on my way home." If I get bored, I can just come back.
