Fuyuko Matsui
Since her debut in 2005, Fuyuko Matsui has gained much attention, during which she has graduated from Tokyo University of Fine Arts and Music as the first female to receive a doctoral degree in Japanese painting (the first male being Takashi Murakami).
As the theme of this exhibition, Matsui has chosen the Greek mythology " Narcissus", the origin of the word "Narcissism". This Greek myth symbolizes self-love, and can psychologically be considered a type of personality disorder, sometimes even close to
insanity. As the product of careful self-examination, Matsui's new works have achieved a level on which traditional techniques are combined with modern theories to produce an entirely new form of Japanese painting.
