[Artists]

Kurumi Kotani｜小谷くるみ
Graduated the master's course at Kyoto University of Art and Design graduate school of Art Major, Art and Design Studies in 2019.
Kotani’s paintings mention relationships and what there was. In Kurumi Kotani’s signature series 21g the entire surface is treated like a “window,” and on the glass with condensation are traces of someone. Kotani, who is interested in the mystical or supernatural phenomenon, creates an image that reminds us of horror movies and indicates the presence of something unsure.

Ryoki Kurasaki｜倉崎稜希
Born in Fukuoka, 1995. Graduated Kyushu Designer Gakuin in 2016. By burning the spots where there supposed to be eyes were, Kurosaki pictures the reality of portraited motif.
The specific phenomenon and chemically altered substances that occurred by flame are important materials in his portraited oil painting, as well as the exposed blankness and physical component of the canvas.

[Artist]

YUGO.
As an artist belongs to digmeout, YUGO. has started his career focusing on original artwork and commission work, with his specific name since 2015. He has been expanding his fields and holding exhibitions in the past four years annually, both in Osaka and Tokyo. His motives are mainly from U.K. music and fashion, which is the creative roots of the artist. YUGO.’s artwork has a sense of pop and darkness, sending strong messages through the word bubbles and calligraphies.

Saki Matsumura｜松村咲希
Born in Nagano, 1993. Graduated the master's course at Kyoto University of Art and Design graduate school of Art Major, Art and Design Studies in 2017.
Matsumura has been trying to visualize abstract concepts in painting with several techniques such as acrylic and silkscreen print in complex layers and solidity. The illusion of relation between backgrounds and figures and matière emphasized by spray paint of her paintings make a gap in the viewer’s cognition.

Nekochiaki" is a special collaboration unit of two artists who both work as artists in FM802 and FM COCOLO's "digmeout" art project.
chiaki kohara colorfully depicts the cat general, who is favored for his reliable descriptive ability and detailed, venomous and glossy style, and his wild and strong-willed Wonderland friends.
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!
Come visit Nocturnal Chronicle - "Tales of the Night" where magical creatures bring magic to the holiday season.

[Artist]
NekoshowguN
He is well known for his dynamic black-and-white contrasts and richly detailed, yet venomous and glamorous style, using insects, animals, women, and other motifs. His work was sparked by video websites, and he is popular not only in Japan but also in Europe and the United States. In addition to his solo exhibition at digmeout project, he has created numerous artworks including concept images and jacket illustrations for games.
https://digmeout.net/artists/nekoshowgun/

chiaki kohara
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.

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.
