Aiko Furukawa's work fascinates and leaves continuously aftertaste. Her motifs are ordinary things like garments or clothes, but they are swallowed up to sky in a concentric circle. Ordinary clothes, which people put everyday, turned into unrealistic world and creates a fresh stimulation by her recombination work.
Furukawa says "When I feel some feelings which argues in daily life or an unconscious habit consciously, it rouses my interest." Moreover, people's life is an act with being repeated, which does not overlap though. Her unique style, which expresses that by swirl, is brilliant individuality.
She is going to study in Leipzig, where she had residency before, as up-and-coming artist overseas training member of the Agency for Cultural Affairs. Her brand new works are the decision declaration and they guarantee the future leap.
