About
Shimoda arrived onto the international scene in 2014 with her U.S. exhibition Fantastic Planet, Goodbye Man at CHG, introducing her ongoing series since 2011, titled “Children of This Planet” and “Whereabouts of God,” and since then she’s become one of the most widely recognized names of New Contemporary painters rising out of Japan. Sparkling and sweet, Shimoda’s work is at once enchanting and disarming, portraying a world where cuteness and horror coexist. Regarding her new works, Shimoda shares, “I continue to create works using the theme of how we live in this world of sorrow, loneliness, and salvation. This time, by juxtaposing the themes that I’ve created so far, I would like to create an exhibition that cross-cuts and expresses people living in the present age.”
