Yurina Okada
Loko Gallery is proud to present Yurina Okada’s solo exhibition at our gallery, “Raw”, from July 1st through 31st. In March 2020, Okada graduated Kyoto University of Art & Design Graduate School Art Major (Painting Course), where she started presenting works based on photography. Her works have been selected in awards such as The Art of Color Dior (selected, 2019, France) and Art Award Marunouchi (Shigeo Goto Prize, 2018, Tokyo).
Okada’s artistic practice, interweaving painting and photographic techniques, is notable in the recent art scene. She adapts modeling paste on a plane canvas where she transfers photography during the drying process and makes use of the cracks emerging from it. The unintentional cracks visually appeal to the Japanese aesthetic of mono no aware, or “sensitivity of ephemera” to the viewers in a strong manner.
In this exhibition, Okada will present her latest works featuring new motifs, such as candles placed as metaphors of the cityscape, the seagull captured from a ship, or a stray cat nearby the studio. Please look forward to seeing the series which convey the moments and eternity pursued by Okada, alongside with the decaying time entwining to it.
