CASHI is glad that the mild spring weather finds you in good health and is pleased to advise that Yuukuusai’s second solo exhibition at CASHI, “Swim in flower and storm” will be held from Tuesday, April 13 to Saturday, May 29.
 
Yuukuusai is an artist who energetically keeps on creating artworks with a theme of relationship and communication with other people. The works, deeply reflecting her own identity, are indispensable objects for her to establish the relationship between other people. Her works, exhibited in GEISAI in many occasions, are centered on three-dimensional works. You might say the sense of color and 3D presentation, which make viewers overwhelmed, are the charm of the artist like no other. Most of the other works, finished with the gorgeous fabric in full spectrum of brilliant and fluorescent colors, are in the motif of animals. They appear right there as mirrors of the artist herself and as shields to protect the artist or their founder from other people. As she describes her flat works as “self-portrait,” her own costumes as “shields," and 3D works as “knights” to protect her from other people, you could perceive from all the works as much as consistently offensive vitality and spirit. They are powerful, fragile, painful and beautiful. Together with new works, what she has inside will be composed and exhibited as real as you might feel them grotesque.
 
The artist will join the reception party in the middle of the event period, on May 8.
“Swim in flower and storm” is Yuukuusai’s solo exhibition that has become more profound since last year.
You are cordially invited to the exhibition to look at the artworks and talk about them to your acquaintance.
