Tomoko Kashiki (b. 1982, Japan) observes beauty and wonder in the minute details in life. In the painting Soup of Memories Served with Smiling Sunflowers and Bones (2020), she portrays the figure’s body in a curled-up position. The overlay of multiple elements creates an impression that the character could be lying at the far end of a room, or possibly floating in a pond or sky partially covered with patterned clouds. Kashiki’s works are personal, dream-like, yet often verging on the ironic by combining both real and imaginative elements.
