伝統と革新の現代日本画

Naoya Oshima Born in Gifu in 1995. Completed his PhD at Tokyo University of the Arts. His practice engages with pre-existing images—such as photographs, narratives, and traditional forms— using them as a basis for painting. Through reconstruction, quotation, and acts of copying, his works move between what is real and what is fabricated. By questioning the certainty of seeing and knowing, he reveals alternative forms of reality within ambiguous images.

Mayuno Kobayashi Born in Aichi in 1993. Completed her MFA at Joshibi University of Art and Design. Working with techniques rooted in Nihonga. Her practice translates ambiguous and fluid images—derived from everyday life, memory, and emotional states—into animals and imaginary beings. Often depicted as humorous characters, these figures reflect human emotions and concerns, revealing the artist’s inner world.
