記憶はどこか曖昧で混沌としているが、限りある時だ、ということを私は忘れたくない。(作家コメント)

Nakahara Arisa
Arisa Nakahara was born in Okinawa and completed a master degree in Japanese Style Painting from the Tokyo University of the Arts.
Most of her works are portraits of women with vivid color contrast combining boldness and delicacy which have certain loveliness. “No matter where the starting point is, if she has the strength to live, she will definitely shine!” Nakahara said. The artist will be continuously creating the ”long-lasting sparkles” through the works.

こぼさないように、大切に両手で掬い上げる。
それでも、その手から多くがこぼれ落ちては消えて行く。
時には潔く捨てることも考えなければならない。(作家コメント)

Toko Okamoto
Born in Kyoto and earned a MFA degree in Japanese Style Painting from the Tokyo University of the Arts, Okamoto Toko is a Japanese painter who looks straight at the essence of what she is painting, especially the delicacy of women depicted with refinement as if you could feel the temperature, humidity and the air rising from the surface of the work, a mysterious world created by her great artistic senses. It is hard not to be captivated by her intense and amazing works.

約3年ぶりの立ちポーズ作品。 新規のモデルさんは上半身が細めだがお尻の厚みが凄く、その美肌と穏やかな雰囲気が求めていたイメージにハマった。
今回は極端なレンプラントライトに加えお馴染みの編上げ靴に白百合を配置した構成美も追求。
壁に手をつき踵を上げたポーズは極めて厳しく8分刻みでの制作であった。(作家コメント)

Tetsuya Mishima
Mishima Tetsuya is a popular artist well known for his decisive, on-the-spot approach and eminent painting technique inspired by the classism.
Aside from voluptuous nudes accentuated by exquisite lines he draws so elegantly, we cannot overlook his still-life paintings which distinguished himself from the start.
Gorgeous flowers, breathtakingly beautiful fruits,elegant brocade are all shining on his canvases. We all but admire his graceful dexterity and abundant eroticism.

制作で使っている白と黒の顔料を描いた。黒と白だけの絵の具で描いたわけではないが、最小手段での空間や質感等の表現は自分の原点でもあり、今後の課題や工夫のでもある。
白と黒というテーマから、対立や差別、表裏や善悪、ハーフトーンやコントラストといったものを見てくれる方がいるかもしれない。しかし制作中に浮かんできていたことは、このモチーフが目の前に美を引き連れて現れた経緯やそれに携わった人たちのこと。(作家コメント)

Takahiro Hara
Based on the study of Spain's realistic paintings, he depicts the "existence" hidden in daily life. His attitude of seeing everything, including life and death, gives universal beauty to his work. His work tells us that the beauty and the value of life are in our lives.

Suzuki Hiroo
Born in Hyogo prefecture in 1986, Hiroo Suzuki earned a MFA degree in conservation and
restoration of Japanese Style Painting from the Tokyo University of the Arts. He replaces some well-known characters appeared in the Ukiyo e or works of the Edo period into adorable child figures which creates a heartwarming atmosphere of joy. The consoling Japanese style embedded with his
professional knowledge and skills of classical paintings attracts numerous art-lovers from
around the globe.

北川 麻衣子「ウロボロス」

学部生の時、古い銅版画や絵画に度々描かれる「錬金術師」や「錬金術」に惹かれ、錬金術にまつわる本を立て続けに読み、当然ながら、つかみきれないその世界に想像を巡らせる楽しみがあった。キメラ、両性具有、陰陽、不老不死…。
そこに生きるものを「人型」で描きたかった。(作家コメント)

Kitagawa Maiko
Born in Saitama Prefecture, Maiko Kitagawa gained her doctoral degree in Oil painting from the Tokyo University of the Arts. She has depicted a wonderland of black and white that could appear in the fairy tales. Covered intensely by a thick layer of refined black, her paintings give an awe-inspiring yet creepy feeling drawing the audience to a world mixed with truth and false.

Uchida Suzume
I listen to the cry of the soul.
I want to be saved and to save. I want to be forgived and to forgive. I want to be loved and to love.
This is a desire to live, trying to find hope no matter how desperate it is.
I will not give up that someday despair is hugged in hope and rises to the sky.
I will not give up that finally I realize I had a wonderful day.

なめらかでつややかな髪と肌には、女性の魅力が詰まっているように思います。
自然に咲く花のように、飾らないありのままの姿が美しい。そんな美しいひとの、何気ないふとした一瞬を切り取ったような作品でありたいです。(作家コメント)
