Natsuko Taniguchi

The works of Natsuko Taniguchi (born 1968) repeatedly feature small girls and their real-life and make-believe play routines. They attempt to escape from the roles and responsibilities of both young girls and adults. The little insignificant holes attached to them, seemingly trivial, exist there nonetheless.
Her works are created on plywood panels, with a first layer drawn onto them with a brush, after which acrylic is applied using tracing paper folded round to make a cone-shaped tool in the shape of a pastry bag, creating an uneven grainy surface formed out of dots and lines. She also makes use of varnish, fluorescent and transparent gel finishes in order to produce a dazzling visual effect, creating large works spanning several meters that glitter before the viewer.
The works are mainly on the theme of pedophilia, inducing both shock and a sense of visual enchantment in the audience.
