Park Nahyun

"Virtual" means, existing in the mind, especially as a product
of the imagination, not only things computers created. My
works represent icons that we usually create in SNS or
posted images with hashtag, and the masks has visualized
"inner side" hidden behind the face of real world.  "Virtual
Identity", Self-expression of the people in the virtual space,
is something between virtual and reality, which boundary
lines has been destroyed. Since 2014, using own old clothes
I've been wearing, I am in the process of transforming into a
new identity through the wearing of cloths and accessories.

Qu Yi

『ACROBAT』
This album presents the  theme‘nonsense’ in the form of
copper engravings. It returns to the original form of
nonsense comics by omitting the complexity of the
four-character cartoons and showing the interesting
and marvelousness of everyday nonsense.
 『 NONSENSE　NOTE』
This album presents the life-centered reality and
unrealistic nonsense theme by using comprehensive
materials. The painter combines the surrealism in the
nonsense with her own experience and integrates the
nonsense into her own style by starting from the shallow
meaning of the nonsense.

Philadelphia,
Vermont, Tokyo, and Budapest. She currently lives in

Kiriko Shirobayashi

My works contain complex meanings not only by their direct
transmissions but also their reminiscences. The corners of
our minds, which conceal what we carry underneath our
consciousness and unconsciousness, are of supreme 
interest to me. My work is not necessarily intended to
direct anyone in any direction, but more to illuminate
aspects of our existence and encourage the viewer to
develop their own concept. It is by this method, I believe,
that art cultivates understanding and exhibits its own
inherent value.
After graduating from Osaka University of Arts, I moved
to the United States going on to graduate from the School
of Visual Arts with a MFA in Photography and Related Media.
I have been exhibiting my work, including the Allentown Art
Museum, the Center for Photography at Woodstock, the
Houston Center for Photography, Delaware Center for the
Contemporary Arts, Onoma Center, Finland, the 5th Pingyao
International Festival and the National Museum of Belarus.
I have received awards from GEN ART, LMCC and Photography
21 and have completed residencies at theMacDowell Colony, 
Headlands Center for the Arts, and Santa Fe Art Institute.

Japan, and is currently based in New York.  She studied 
photography at the International Center of Photography

streets and the nature in her everyday, and her life
theme to live every moment wholeheartedly is
underlying throughout her work.  She holds a M.S. in
Advertising from Northwestern University, and
formerly worked in advertising.

Yuko K.

I believe the existence of any artist’s sense of view must be
reflected by the memories of their experiences. 
To me, the method of taking photographs and videos
symbolize the importance of time. 
Suspending the equal value for both passing time and
present time, gives me a diverse creator’s awareness and
ability to recall memories of past experiences I had almost
lost in the transforming, changing figure.  
After I graduated art university in Japan, I began working as
a freelance illustrator and painting instructor along with my
fine art painting and later moved to New York City. Currently
I am living in NYC and work with various materials in painting,
printmaking, illustration, mixed media, photographs and
videos for the methodology of contemporary art.
