人間と自然との間に介在する何か。その2つの距離感、バランス感覚、関係性を愛情溢れる視線で表現している画家。
作品はしばしば白昼夢的なイメージとなり、柔かな図像を光り溢れる色彩で捉えた画風が特徴的。
共通して「人間も自然の一部である」という謙虚なメッセージが宿っている。
Misato Ban
1977 born Ishikawa Japan, lives and works in Ishikawa and Tokyo,Japan.
Young Japanese artist Misato BAN explores both the distance and proximitybetween nature and people in her work
and delicately forces the viewer to reflect on being part of nature. She creates a daydream-like atmoshereportraying
everyday moments and exploring her poetic thoughts, aiming to create a feeling of balance between nature and contemporary life.
BAN invokes an inter-connectedness with the natural world, and suggests that people are just one part of nature
and just one part of life on earth.
