Yurika Hashimoto
Shimokitazawa Arts is please to present the solo exhibition "I want to see behind the star during the day " by Hashimoto Yurika. Hashimoto was born in Hiroshima pref., 1998, graduated from the Japanese Painting course of the Department of Fine Arts and Crafts at Kyoto University of the Arts in 2022 and completed the Master's program in the Japanese Painting field of Fine Arts and Crafts at Kyoto University of the Arts Graduate School in 2024.
At her graduation exhibition last year, Hashimoto presented a large-scale wall-covering work titled Someday, combining several large and small canvases. At first, the work caught my eye with a cute ink-painted mouse on a whitish background, but upon closer inspection, I could see countless pieces of Japanese paper and newspapers through the surface of the work, and no matter how far I look, I could never get to the end.
After failing the entrance exam to an art university, Hashimoto met her mentor at university and has sincerely pursued an exploration of the origins of Japanese painting, the materials and techniques used, and what she wants to express herself. Currently, based on the impressions she had when she visited Brazil, where her mother was born and raised, she is exploring contemporary Japanese paintings that express the sentiments of the Japanese people, using the motif of mice, which are pests yet cute, and the technique of collage, which is difficult to express intentionally.
Please take a look at the surface, depth, and even deeper aspects of Hashimoto's works.
