Artists

Ellie Omiya
In Ellie Omiya’s work the energy of life overflows from the canvas, filling the surrounding space. As a creator she has various expressions, her liberated imagination pushing the possibilities of art without constraint. This is Omiya’s first exhibition at Tomio Koyama Gallery and features her latest work, “Fortune flowers,” as well as works presented at her exhibition in Towada Art Center, and works that will be shown publicly for the first time. Flowers, trees, and landscapes such as lakes are depicted vividly through the artist’s emotions, moving the viewer towards active experiences beyond the mere act of looking. Omiya often carries out live painting performances with live musical accompaniment. She says of these, “My live drawings are stories. They continue and constantly develop.” Arising from a horizon on a canvas, they evoke tangible sensations such as the buzz of particular places; lights, and smells. As they are direct representations of what is felt by the artist, they invite the viewer into a rich world of artistic resonances. The viewer can here experience dense sensations directed toward the outside world.
