Artists
Yurika Roppongi, Kaws, Julian Opie, Mika Ninagawa et al.
Yurika Roppongi studied design at the Tokyo University of the Arts. She began her career as a painter under the supervision of Chinami Nakajima, a Japanese-style painter. Since then, she has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Tokyo and won the grand prize at the Kaika Tokyo Award 2022. Lion heads and pit bulls appear suddenly and strut around the screen as if own the place. The motifs that appear in Roppongi's paintings are said to have appeared in her mind just before she painted them.
Whether they are almost improvised or based on interviews with the young people who gather in Shibuya, her paintings are the expression of herself (and others) living in the present.
It is almost impossible to interpret her works, which are distanced from the logic and concept behind their production, and the viewer is confronted with them without the filter of the self. The painted space that we see in this way begins to shine as a new world filled with a sense of exuberance.
To paint is to live - such words can be heard in the paintings of Yurika Roppongi. Such works will be exhibited and sold along with works selected from Walls Tokyo's collection.
