At this year’s Tokyo Art Club Fair, Shukado shows work by Shihori Hattori.
The odd old men she paints are neither demons nor immortals; if anything, she says, they are her ideal human beings. We hope you will see this strange and abundant world of hers for yourself.

「明暗双双」とは禅語。表と裏、差別と平等、創造と破壊など、二項対立が一体となる境地を言う。
服部はいう。
一見対立する二つの要素が実は両方、必要なのだ。日本にも、世界にも。
服部は奇妙なオヤジを描く。この奇妙なオヤジは鬼でも仙人でもなくむしろ理想の人間でさえあるという。
彼女の怪しくて豊穣な世界を味わって見ていただきたい。

Hattori Shihori
Born in Kyoto and completed a master degree in Japanese Style Painting from the Kyoto City University of Arts in 2013. "The Essence of Eastern Painting is the line." She explores the paradise hidden in this word. It is her trust that realizes the moment when the line is no longer an element, that embodies the independent beauty, that becomes free in a true sense, and that enriches her and others' hearts.
