Japanese contemporary artist Ayako Rokkaku is renowned for her playful, uninhibited artistic style, employing vivid colours and intuitive brushwork to
conjure imaginative, fantastical worlds. Whether at Shanghai’s Long Museum, the streets of Shibuya in Tokyo, Hong Kong’s Landmark, or the Thyssen-
Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, her works infuse their surroundings with vibrant colour and an invigorating visual energy, offering a refreshing and uplifting
experience. In 2017, Rokkaku held a solo exhibition at Gallery Target in Tokyo, presenting a new body of work that combines painting with sculptural form through the use of acrylic panels. By exploring the layered transparency of the material and the interplay of viewing angles, her compositions reveal a complete
image when viewed from the front or back, while an unexpected sense of dimensionality emerges from an oblique perspective. Transcending the conventional boundaries of two-dimensional painting, these works
embody a distinctive fusion of artistic expression and contemporary technology.
