This is the first solo show by Yuka DOUTOU ( completed the master course of printmaking at fine art division in Kyoto University of Arts and Music in 2011).

Mostly by using silk-screen printmaking techniques, she depicts her own characterized cats, chicks or eggs and so on, as her motifs, and they are sometimes expressed in too little detail. Some of her pictures represent cats bleeding, vomiting, developing fever, or running off.

Examining her works up close, we can enjoy those characters rather humorously drawn by her. On the other hand, looking from a distance, we can also enjoy the whole picture, when an unexpected image or a pattern that we fail to see appears before us. This is the accumulation of each character she makes. According to the position where we see them, her works look quite different.

I hope you can enjoy her works to the full both in vicinity and in a distant.
