Naoya Oshima
Naoya Oshima (b. 1995, Gifu, Japan) completed his PhD in Fine Arts at Tokyo University of the Arts in 2024. Through a process of cutting, rearranging, and translating photographs and existing visual imagery into painting, he explores the shifting boundaries between reality and fiction. In his recent *Yōizu Genjō Mosha* series, Oshima creates paintings that appear to be reproductions of historical picture scrolls and documents that never actually existed, incorporating stains, creases, and signs of aging to lend fictional images a compelling sense of reality. At a time when the distinction between the real and the fabricated is increasingly blurred, his practice investigates new forms of reality that can emerge through the act of painting.

Mayuno Kobayashi
Mayuno Kobayashi (b. 1993, Aichi, Japan) completed her MFA in Japanese Painting at Joshibi University of Art and Design.
Grounded in the techniques of traditional Japanese painting, she transforms emotions and memories drawn from everyday life into images of animals and imaginary creatures.
Through these playful and approachable motifs, Kobayashi projects the complexities of human emotion and inner experience, weaving together personal memories and cultural influences to create a distinctive visual world.
In 2024, she held her first solo exhibition, A Delightful Abyss, at SHIKISAISHA and received the ONE ART AWARD 2024.
