Yuna Ogino

Ogino Yuna, whose painting style is semi-abstract, produces motifs such as flowers, figures, and things that are familiar to all of us. In the process of painting on canvas, she gradually reconstructs concrete depictions into abstract forms, creating a chain of shapes and light rhythms in her colouring of various images. With her human nude paintings, she removes thoughts of eroticism and focuses on the energy that is manifested in the existence, emotion, and fragility of life.

She layers paints over and over with a brush or painting knife, then repeatedly scrapes or wipes off the painted image with a cloth, creating multilayered and complex material-based paintings that leave traces of the time she spent facing the canvas.
