[Staff comment]
The work uses a variety of colors and stirs the imagination of the viewer. I thought it was a fun piece to watch, with a sense of dynamism and movement. Please pay attention to the shadows that make it appear floating and the three-dimensional feel of the work! You can see Niji Kikuchi's art at the venue, so please come and see us! (Fujinuma)
