[Exhibition view]
It is delicately drawn as if it was a transfer of the pattern, and has a mysterious charm!
The pop and bright colors give a bright impression!
[Staff comment]
This work is by Kimi Sakaki, who is known for her ephemeral colors and warm paintings. Planet 3, which has a pop atmosphere, has bright colors reminiscent of the death of a skeleton, so I felt it was a cute work with a cheerful image. Twin3 has a warm texture, but the girls lined up symmetrically and the regular patterns of the clothes give a mysterious impression, and I thought it was a wonderful work. (Fujinuma)
