📍 Creative Concept
Nanako Hachikan typically uses plants and female figures as themes to depict a nostalgic world of dreams and childhood. With an overwhelming sense of splendor and skillful use of color, she presents a dreamlike and magnificent worldview, primarily creating works with opaque acrylic paints.
📍 Exhibition Introduction
The works in this solo exhibition revolve around the themes of "memory," "dreams," and "journey."
I hope my work can become a messenger of memories and dreams, crossing the ocean to deliver beautiful memories, dreams, and hopes to every viewer. I look forward to everyone who comes here feeling hope and joy.
The inspiration for my work comes from a childhood sea voyage. My pieces embody my childhood memories, which have become the source of inspiration for my art today. The scenery and scenes I unintentionally encountered during my childhood travels have profoundly influenced my artistic style to this day. For example, the picture books I read, the cartoons I watched, and the travel time I spent with my family—these fragments have woven together to form my current artistic style. Whether you are an adult or a child today, everyone has their own childhood memories.
Therefore, the concept of this exhibition focuses specifically on these shared childhood experiences, because they are precious memories that transcend national borders and are possessed by everyone. I hope this exhibition will touch overseas audiences and bring them joy and inspiration.
This time, I will be exhibiting works that are associated with the words ”memory,” “dream,” and “journey.”
The concept for this exhibition was decided upon, entrusting my work with the role of traveling messengers, delivering memories, dreams, and hopes to people across the sea. I hope that I can provide hope and excitement to all who visit.
My childhood memories are reflected in the work I create today. The small parts of everyday life that I happened to see and liked in my childhood have had a major influence on my work today. To give just a few examples, the picture books and animations I saw as a child, memories of family trips…all of these things have accumulated to form my current style of work.
We as adults and children living today all have a childhood. For this exhibition, I created a concept that strongly reflects that experience, because people all over the world, not just in my country, have had the same experiences. I would be very happy if this exhibition resonates with people overseas as well, and brings them joy and inspiration.
