Naoko Tamaki is an artist who has actively engaged in artistic production and exhibition in Japan and overseas since the mid 2000’s. The monotone forests which she creates are like welling clouds or some scaled creature, and just as in a Rubin Vase when the background and art work are reversed the image undergoes transformation.

This exhibition which marks Tamaki’s 4th solo exhibition at Youkobo, the artist intends to express through collage the physical transformative process of the work’s creation and the landscape in which this emerges.
