This was an exhibition at the Hara Museum of Conyemporary Art, Japan. It host a group show of young japanese artists, include Ryoko Aoki, "The sun" (2009).
Major aim of this exhibition was "Micropop", for critic and curator Midori Matsui "Mircopop is defined as a set of artistic practices that move in two directions:
First, it involves the rearrangement of products, fragments of information, knowledge, or cultureal signs to create new inventions. (the act of rearrangement is said to be driven by 'immediate demands in life' rather than ideology or social conventions')
Second, it described as "the production or recording of a physical effect", explain as a deterritorialization of the language of art.
Aoki's artworks describe with childish sensibility, based in drawing, feathery pencil strokes, stippled felt pen marks, sure-handed countour drawings, also she uses watercolor. She sketiched of everyday reality, landscape, flowers, objects etc. include details, individuals, disparate elements. Her works presented a comtemporaty aesthetic, simplicity and subjectivity.
I really interested in this "subjectivity aesthetic", her drawing nevertheless resist a reconstraction of personal history, it is what I'm doing recently. Deliberately erases traces of subjectivity by coping fragments images from photos, advertisements, posters etc.
In the past, she has shown drawings that connect diverse phenomena through formal analogy. Recently, scattered visions were repeatly pursued through the rearrangement of such banal motifs as cookies and flowery fabric patterns.
