Yukari Nishi
Born in 1978 in Japan and currently based in Nishinomiya, Hyogo, Nishi’s paintings reference an idealized mid-century Western nostalgia through surreal scenes populated with faceless figures, emotionless plushies, and lifeless animals.
Created from collages of mainstream media, Nishi’s works enter a fourth dimension somewhere between reality and fiction, exploring the subconscious and creating opportunity for introspection. After graduating from the Kyoto University of the Arts, Nishi has exhibited her paintings and mixed media works both domestically and abroad. Recent projects include her solo exhibition Index ♯5 (The Mass, Tokyo); group shows IMAGRATION (Each Modern, Taipei), Inquiry to the Wall (Tang Contemporary Art x Soul Art Center, Beijing), and Intersection of Monsoons (Tang Contemporary Art, Hong Kong); and Art Fair Tokyo and Taipei Dangdai.
