Honoka Okuyama
At ART FAIR ASIA FUKUOKA 2026, SHUKADO presents three artists: Yasunari Ikenaga, Mayumi Tsuzuki and Honoka Okuyama.
At first glance the worlds they paint look very different from one another.
Yasunari Ikenaga builds on the fine techniques of Japanese painting to show not only a woman’s beauty but the feeling, and the wavering of the heart, that lie behind it.
Mayumi Tsuzuki slips a faint wrongness into familiar everyday scenes, painting a world of her own that sets the viewer’s imagination going.
Honoka Okuyama works from memories of growing up in Hokkaido and from the scenes of her days, painting feelings that anyone knows: solitude, and the longing for a place left behind.
What the three have in common is that they do not paint what the eye sees. They lift out, carefully and in paint, what lies behind it — memory, feeling, the accumulation of time.
Three worlds arrived at by three different routes sound together in one space. We hope the presentation conveys the richness of painting, and the power of art to stay close to the human heart.
Please come and see the conversation these works make with one another.
First solo exhibition in 2005. He has since shown at ART FAIR TOKYO, ART TAIPEI and VOLTA BASEL 2019, among others. In 2023 the Oita City Art Museum held "BEAUTY: The Baikoan Collection × Yasunari Ikenaga".
His work is in demand abroad for stationery and book design. The collection "Kimi Omou Momoyo no Kofuku", published in 2014, remains a long-seller. For the March 2020 issue of "Geijutsu Shincho" his painting "Hana Meisai: Honami" was used on the cover, and the issue carried a long interview with him together with a conversation on bijinga with the illustrator Hisashi Eguchi. He has collaborated with AKB48, issued prints, colouring books and calendars, and supervised anthologies of bijinga.
Working from landscapes she has gone out to see, she paints them abstracted into colour, with a floating quality.
