Vacant Land

Yukino Iwatsuki graduated from Visual Communication Design Course at Kanazawa College of Art in 1998, and has been engaged primarily in oil painting in Aichi, Japan. Alongside solo exhibitions in Japan, her works have been shown internationally, including in New York City and Venice, Italy in 2019. Captivated by daily life, Iwatsuki finds colors, forms and landscapes before her as subjects that evoke a sense of trust, and she vividly expresses the ideals there through observation. The softly painted subjects transform fleeting moments into narratives, drawing viewers into her world. Iwatsuki’s distinctive originality, leaving a pleasant aftertaste, stems from her own life closely aligned with her art, as she cultivates plants.
