A thinly painted monochrome world where reality and fantasy mingle.
With as few touches as possible, the artist weaves a sense of atmosphere and creates a single story.
The scenery is fantastical, similar to the sensation of creating a diorama.

Born in 1988 and currently resides in Nara Prefecture.
She creates monochrome watercolor paintings on the theme of "the beauty of life and the beauty of simply being here, despite the sadness, loneliness, and transience we feel every day. She is active in solo exhibitions, public exhibitions, and events mainly in the Kansai region.

DMOARTS is pleased to present "My Odd Friends," the first solo exhibition of Emi Suzuki at DMOARTS.
Suzuki has a wild yet sophisticated style, depicting animals and scenes in simple forms on handmade paper that retains a natural texture.
His poetic expressions, in which the temperature of living creatures' bodies and even the smell of wild flowers and grasses can be felt, have been accepted, and he has been active mainly in solo exhibitions, including collaborations with fashion brands.
In this exhibition, we will present works inspired by the stories in our imagination. We look forward to your visit.

Artist’s statement

The theme of this exhibition is "strange imaginary friends" and I drew funny creatures.
Here are some of my friends in my head, a little strange but not hateful.
For the first time, ceramic works are also available. The earthenware painted on the porcelain
You will feel the power of the work, which is different from that of two-dimensional works.

at H.P.DECO Small Room of Curiosity No.2

We are pleased to announce the first solo exhibition of HYMN, an up-and-coming artist whose work is still fresh in our minds from UNKNOWNA ASIA 2018, at H.P. DECO Curious Little Room.

HYMN pays homage to various icons of art, including Picasso, Matisse, and other masterpieces from the history of art, as well as graffiti sprayed on, and quotes and remixes digital imagery. The artist's unique style, which he calls "virtual spray," incorporates the spray drop as a product of the passage of time into the two-dimensional pixel.

The title of this exhibition, "Virtual Wall," represents the image of playing with imaginary graffiti art on "walls" in a virtual world that does not exist.
Enjoy the pop world that combines the colorful, uninhibited sprays that symbolize "feeling" for HYMN with the "digital" pixel information that has taken over our lives and now symbolizes reality.
