MASATAKA CONTEMPORARY was launched in January 2013. Our mission is to introduce and encourage emerging talents that we felt in love with. We explore artists and their work across various media that meet our two criteria; creativity and independence.
CUTE AND SWEET, BUT…
Date : Sep. 17 (Sat) ~ Oct. 15 (Sat), 2016
Open : From Tue. to Sat. , 11am to 7pm (Close on Sun., Mon., and national holidays)
Opening Reception : Sep. 17 (Sat) 5pm ~ 7pm
“They create very cute and sweet works, but… not just that!”, this exhibition’s title means that.
Their works are filled with “CUTE” that we may get drawn into and “SWEET” moment that melts in our mouth.
Not only cute, these are based on the context of art.
I hope you will like the enjoyable space full of cute creations by six female artists!

I create “crowds” likened certain motif like ice-cream to “human”.
My works’ story is anxiety and evanescence because human is going to be alone someday.
I would appreciate it if you would think whether you are in the crowd.
-Ayako Yonemitsu（b.1982）
The border of girls that I draw is insecurely tremoring.
I dream into the tremor and find a possibility of salvation there.
Tales are universes accepts all possibilities.
Drawing girls, I gain access to the universe, and imagine every possibility.

All the scenery in my works are based on my memory,and my old self show up there.
I draw the image of vague memory that goes back and forth between real and unreal,
to face lost things and ever‐changing emotions,
to present how uncertain everything is.
