Asuka Irie
Asuka Irie (born in 1980 in Tokyo) completed the Master's Program in Printmaking at Tama Art University in 2004 and went to France in 2012 as a Bunka-Cho Overseas Study Program for Emerging Artists.
In 2013, Irie won the grand prize at the "PAT in Kyoto/Kyoto Print Triennial"; in 2014, he participated in the "17th Domani, Tomorrow Exhibition," an exhibition presenting the results of the Agency for Cultural Affairs Overseas Training Program for Artists; and from 2018 to 2019, his first large-scale retrospective exhibition was held in Yokohama, Kyoto, and Ibaraki.
Irie is characterized by his insistence on being a "printmaker," his use of Western copperplate engraving techniques as the mainstay of his work, but also his inexhaustible use of Japanese painting, ukiyo-e, and other techniques, and the composition of his images created from his rich imagination. Irie's work is a combination of the past and present of Japan and Paris, and his ability to depict people, animals, and even fairytale inhabitants in other dimensions is unmistakable.
This exhibition held three years after the 2018-2019 retrospective, will not only feature representative and popular works from his early to recent years, but also a series on the theme of the Japanese calendar, which will be exhibited for the first time in this exhibition, and a series of compositions in which Irie dares to make drawings after creating mixed-media works.
