Profile

Naoko Fukui aoko Fukui is one of highly recommended artists introduced by Gallery TAGBOAT.
She is distinguished for brightly colored painting and accessories decorated with shiny materials such as beads and spangles.
One of her installations was awarded by Taro Okamoto Award of Contemporary Art, which she decorates the space and makes it into a magical room.
With decorations and paintings, and the combination of plane with space, she presented viewers with a more familiar way to enjoy art.
Her colorful outlines which heighten the decorations and the plane surface are recognized as her painting style.
On the other hand, we could still find the hidden dignified strength in her painting, without failing to capture any twinkling of the moment.
She puts all of her personal life experiences and memories to her artistic creation.
Memories from the nature, memories from her grand mother who has a talent for stitching, memories from traveling and bright memories of touching moments.
Not only paints on canvas, she has been using every conceivable materials to spell her memories on, such as cloth, beads, wood, pottery and so forth.
She endeavors to conceal her memories in a singular space.
