Moe NAKAMURA 中村萌
Japanese 1988
Born in 1988 in Tokyo, Japan and graduated from the Joshibi University of Art and Design,M.A, Department of Painting. Moe Nakamura, a contemporary Japanese artist recently in the spotlight, the Tokyo art scene today is on a rapid ascent, set to spur a whirlwind of rejuvenation. Nakamura's art practice focuses on warmly hand-carved figures: sculptural works marked by the unique way the notches and grains of the wood are preserved. Her works are filled with youthful wit and soothing textures — cute but not conforming to the clichéd and exaggerated moulds. They stand out for that, for their sincerity, their quiet breath that leads viewers into a kind of enchanting fantasy land from the pages of a children's story. Nakamura is now active in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and many other cities in Asia.
