Mr. Seina Soga

Ms. Miyu

From childhood, she liked to play by hermself and began painting as an extension of that love. She currently uses colored pencils and markers to carefully draw repetitive motifs. The delicate touch and color expression are a must-see.

Mr. KOICHI

Mr. Takahashi Susumu

After receiving a prize in the Nitten art exhibition during the lower grades of elementary school, he began to work using acrylic gouache to paint abstract art, finger painting with opaque watercolors, tribal art using ink for certificates as well as digital data, and more. With his commitment to two-dimensionality without compromising dynamism, the worlds he paints are sure to stimulate the viewer’s imagination.

Mr. Toshio Katahira

It has been more than 10 years since I started painting. He uses a unique method of creating his works by pointing out his favorite colors and layering the colors together with his staff. The depth and thickness of the overlapping colors is a work of strength.

Mr. Shotaro Takeuchi

He used to prefer a style that created a series of sequential patterns, but after the workshop, his style has evolved to one that is more conscious of balance and margins. We would like to draw your attention to the variety of colors of “Kujaku” and “Akabeko,” which are carefully drawn from a unique perspective.

Mr. Toshiya Nakajima

His unique style of drawing familiar objects as if they were robots is characterized by a detailed touch. This time, the subject is Lady Gaga in a simple outfit, carefully expressing an atmosphere of sophistication.

Mr. Naoki Watanabe

The experience of painting on toile led the artist to become fascinated with the expression of filling the screen with small squares and patterns. This time, the theme was “Hotel,” and the work was carefully crafted using primary colors.

Mr. Masaki watanabe

The work is composed of small squares carefully arranged in a unique style in which the same pattern is repeatedly painted. The work conveys an orderly arrangement and a sense of fun in filling in the blanks.

Ms. Chie Kobayashi

Ms. Noriko Uyama

She has loved to draw since she was a child and spends a lot of time in the workshop. Her work this time was based on ukiyoe women, paying close attention to their expressions and the details of their kimonos.

Mr. Yojiro Tanaka

The artist combines the pursuit of reality with a keen sense of observation. He is particular about capturing the reality itself in his works, making full use of a wide variety of painting materials. The artist's unique and delicate touch is what draws the viewer's attention.

Ms. kana
