KOTOKO

2001年兵庫県生まれ、現在は東京を拠点に活動。
世界をナナメに見ておもしろがる精神で、現実とは少しズレた世界をユーモラスでとぼけたタッチで描く。母や叔母の持っていた、昭和の漫画に影響を受け、人間の滑稽さや冷たさが同居するような情景をモチーフに、見る人の脳を揺らすような作品を目指している。
主にアクリルガッシュやマーカーを用いて、鮮やかな色彩でのびのびと制作。キャンバス作品に加え、イラストボードや布作品など素材を問わず、近年ではArt fair BeppuやDifferent Kyomachboriなどアートフェアへの参加や、Pentel×Mural Rookies Projectでのウォールアートの制作など活動の幅を広げている。
ルールに縛られない自由な遊び心をテーマに、精力的に活動中。

Born in 2001 in Hyogo, Japan. Currently based in Tokyo.
With a playful, offbeat perspective on the world, she depicts slightly skewed realities through a humorous and deadpan touch. Influenced by the Showa-era manga once owned by her mother and aunt, her works explore scenes where human foolishness and coldness coexist, aiming to subtly jolt the viewer’s mind.
Using mainly acrylic gouache and markers, she creates freely with vivid colors across various materials such as canvas, illustration board, and fabric. In recent years, she has expanded her practice through participation in art fairs such as Art Fair Beppu and by creating wall art for the Pentel × Mural Rookies Project.
Guided by a spirit of playful freedom beyond rules or conventions, she continues to pursue her artistic expression with energy and curiosity.
