"The Melting Point of Winter."
Things are constantly changing, repeating morning and night without any connection.
Under the cold night sky, lights are quietly lit.
Light and shadows sway ambiguously in the field of vision.
The trees that have not yet blossomed are still preparing their buds.
Waiting for the snow to melt, I think of the spring that will soon come.

Flowers sprout, spread leaves, pollinate, and eventually die.
The ever-changing forms are equally interesting and deeply moving at any given moment.

I feel that when I paint a picture of a flower, I am recording a certain scene through myself.
In the process, I realize that I have not been looking at the shape of even a leaf, even though I usually look at it.

This exhibition is composed of works of familiar plants, with a focus on anemones.
We hope you can feel the story of each plant through the images.

Ayaka Nishino is a young artist who studied Western-style painting at Kyoto Seika University and just graduated last March.

Based on snapshots taken with a camera, she crops and shifts the focus on the canvas to create matte-textured oil paintings.

【Statement】
The motifs are based on photographs taken by myself.
Most of them are trivial things that can be seen in daily life.
When I look at them closely, I find that things that originally existed as individual objects overlap and form a whole flow.
I feel beauty in the colors and shadows created by the light, and I cut them out and made them into paintings.
I hope that the viewer will be able to feel something in this scene, which has no allegory or allegory.

Comment]
After studying Japanese-style painting at university, I am currently working as a "cute" illustrator, mainly for fashion magazines.
Every month, a large number of illustrations of girls, flowers, animals, etc. are printed, consumed, and then disappear.
I sometimes feel a little sad for their short life.
In Rimpa paintings, the universal world of "kawaii" is still loved by people even after 400 years.
People/flowers/animals/etc. of the time are loosely and cutely depicted with glittering and gorgeous techniques.
In this exhibition, we have carefully tried to capture the modern form of "kawaii" in Japanese paintings.
Like the paintings of the Rimpa school, I hope to convey the world of "kawaii" of today to people hundreds of years from now.
