丹羽優太

Born in 1993, she is a painter. Using the context, techniques, and materials of Japanese painting, she creates works that focus on the history of how unseen calamities and irresistible forces have always been likened to "something black." After completing her graduate studies in painting at Kyoto University of the Arts in 2019, she studied in Beijing. Subsequently, she lived at Komyoin, a sub-temple of Tofuku-ji Temple, for two and a half years, where she painted 32 fusuma (sliding door) panels. Recent major exhibitions include Art Collaboration Kyoto "Golden Fight of Gods," "Chimera Chronicles," MIDTOWN AWARD 2021, "Namazu no Komyo," Yanbaru Art Festival, and Art Award Marunouchi 2019.
