[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 are certainly present. His works are divided into several series, each with 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 TV'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 Biennale 2017" and "Tokyo Wonder Seed 2017."
Combining acrylic painting, silkscreening, and stenciling, the artist attempts to visualize abstract concepts with intricately layered and three-dimensional paintings.
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 through needles onto the canvas.
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.

Colorful brush strokes symbolizing physicality and black-and-white lines designed on data evoke the relationship between melody and rhythm.

The theme of the "Sedimentation Series," which involves multiple dripping of white base material, is sedimentary life.
The corals that make up the Shirahama beach in his hometown of Okinawa, which presents a major question to the artist's own idea that circulation is life, are the "accumulation" of life and death. It shows that our activities and the cycle of life are based on the "accumulation" of all kinds of foundations.
