He graduated from Kyoto University of the Arts (former name: Kyoto University of Arts and Design) in the major of Fine Art in 2006 and obtained a Ph.D. in Art at Kyoto City University of Arts in 2016. He is an artist who pursues fundamental themes such as “body,” “life/death,” and “spirit,” which are unavoidable in life, and presents video and installation works.

Saya OKUBO
Born in 1992 in Fukuoka, currently lives and works in Kyoto. Graduated from Kyoto University of the Arts (former name: Kyoto University of Arts and Design) with the Master’s degree in 2017. She is an artist who creates paintings in which two separate elements coexist: a symbolic image expressed as an outline and a phenomelal image undulating with a sense of materiality. Her recent exhibitions include a solo exhibition “They” (2020, WAITINGROOM, Tokyo), group exhibition “Island with ONI” (2019, WAITINGROOM, Tokyo), solo exhibition “a doubtful reply” (2018, WAITINGROOM, Tokyo), group exhibition “Art Students Exhibition 2017” (2017, SEZON ART GALLERY, Tokyo), group exhibition “movement 2016 – 1st movement -“ (2016, ARTZONE, Kyoto), group exhibition “HERE I AM KUAD×TUNA Exchange Exhibition” (2015, Na paid Art Gallery, Taipei, Taiwan).

Rikako KAWAUCHI
Born in 1990 in Tokyo, currently lives and works in Tokyo. Graduated from Tama Art University with the Master’s degree in 2017. Starting from KAWAUCHI’s own interest in the action of eating, she focuses on the subject of body, mind and ambiguous relationship between them. She depicts SELF and OTHERS as motifs in the scenes of eating food, having sex, and many other ways of communication where different elements intersect. Using a very strong and characteristic line, she’s been expanding her ways of impression from painting and drawing to wire sculpture and neon sculpture. Her recent exhibitions include a solo exhibition “drawings” (2020, WAITINGROOM & OIL by Bijutsu Techo *concurrent exhibitions), solo exhibition “Myth & Body” (2020, Mitsukoshi Contemporary Gallery, Tokyo), group exhibition “drawings” (2019, Gallery Koyanagi, Tokyo), solo exhibition “human wears human / bloom wears bloom” (2018, Kamakura Gallery, Kanagawa), solo exhibition “Tiger Tiger burning bright” (2018, WAITINGROOM, Tokyo), group exhibition ”Museum of Together” (2017, SPIRAL, Tokyo), solo exhibition “Back is confidential space.

She also received the Kenjiro HOSAKA Award at the “1st CAF Award” exhibition (2014, Tabloid Gallery, Tokyo) and Shiseido Art Egg Award at the “SHISEIDO ART EGG Vol.9: Go down the throat” (2015, Shiseido Gallery, Tokyo).
