Kanako Sasaki
Born 1976 in Miyagi Prefecture. Studies Journalism at New York’s Ithaca College in 2001. During her studies abroad, she considers that art may be able to convey things in ways that words cannot, and later attends the School of Visual Arts to receive her master’s degree in Photography.
Sasaki traverses the world as if on a search, utilizing the memories and events connected to the general and personal histories of different locations, and merges them with her personal memories and accomplishments to create new imagery in her photographs and videos. Through her creative technique, the historical narratives immediately become more familiar and her individual developments are dramatized. She is an artist who conveys to us the world’s truths in a way that mass media cannot.

- Kohei Nawa talked about his studio managent
- Apr. 21, 2013
- [Interview]
- Artist talk titled "Artist studios today" by Kohei Nawa, Yusuke Komuta and Naoki Tomita was held at G-Tokyo. As we may imagine as a typical artist who works lonely in a studio, their styles are not like that. Nawa's studio works as a team to solve problems and respect each abilities to overcome any difficulties. Other two young painters have opened a new space last year and looking for their new way as a creation space.
- Ultimate paper expression :Interview with Yuko Someya
- Apr. 20, 2013
- [Interview]
- At a first glance, it is hard to tell how Yuko Someya's work was created. It may look like a painting but actually a collage of papers cut out or torn. Her work stands out not only for its dynamic structure, but for its details such as hand written patterns and textures of paper. She talked about connections or relations which have been changed since internet came to our life.
- Bringing the power of nature into ceramic: Interview with Takuro Kuwata
- Apr. 07, 2013
- [Interview]
- Takuro Kuwata is a young artist who works in ceramics. He has developed his own style originally starting from traditional techniques. During the interview, he shared his ideas behind joyful colors, forms and materials which distinguish him from traditional ceramic art. His works are powerful and happy. He respects and enjoys the power of nature by bringing its characters directly into his work.
- A place to notice your hidden character : Interview with Kyoko Nagashima at exhibition “THERE”
- Mar. 21, 2013
- [Interview]
- While interviewing Nagashima, one question repeatedly came up in my mind. "Do I really understand my own character?" She told me about her interest toward the subconscious part of human beings. Her work provides a place for viewers to think about who they are.
- Interview with Tomoko Fukushi, “Boarding” at Yamamoto Gendai
- Mar. 19, 2013
- [Interview]
- Tomoko Fukushi's works are drawn on a white board with a black parmanent marker. "Why drawing on a white board?" may be one of the questions the viewers ask themselves. This question is a good point to start a journey through the life of an artist who tried to find her own expression.
- Interview with Makiko Kudo at her solo exhibition in Tomio Koyama gallery
- Mar. 08, 2013
- [Interview]
- Makiko Kudo's painting recalls your memory and opens your inner sense. Kudo has a very sensitive perception to discern what she likes and what she cares from her surroundings. She depicts what she felt carefully but dynamically on a canvas. Through the interview, you will know how many of her memories are hidden in one painting. And that must be the reason why her paintings stimulate your inner sense.
