Mirocomachiko
Since her debut as a picture book artist in 2012 with "Ookami ga tobu hi (The Day the Wolf Flies)", mirocomachiko has received numerous awards both in Japan and abroad. As a painter, meanwhile, she has garnered high acclaim for her works depicting, with tremendous vitality, the inner essence of animal and plant life, drawn with dynamic strokes that seem to extend beyond the frame of her canvases. The dialogues her works engender are manifested in mirocomachiko’s highly diverse activities. Today, she continues to attract great attention for her magazine and book illustrations, her corporate ads, her art direction, her installations, exemplified by those shown at the Yamagata Biennale in 2016 and 2018, and more.
In 2019, mirocomachiko relocated from Tokyo to Amami Oshima. Inspired by her new life on this subtropical island of unspoiled nature, she began incorporating part of the local nature into her works by dyeing her canvases using traditional natural plant dyes passed down locally through the years, complemented by the local water. Realizing the power and creativity born during her production process, she incorporates them not only into her dyeing technique but into her paintings she also incorporates the time and environment through to the completion of her works, as well as the clothing and accessories she is wearing. The works produced in this manner seem to question human life itself, as one part of the natural environment.
For her new exhibition, mirocomachiko will be showing new works as well as installations of her creative process, from her materials through to completion of her works. Also on view will be a video showing mirocomachiko in the midst of her creative work amid Amami Oshima’s forests. A live painting demonstration making three-dimensional use of the gallery space, improvised together with a musician, is also planned. Visitors are sure to enjoy observing where mirocomachiko’s latest endeavor will take her.
