+ OVERVIEW
Born in 1985 in Tokyo, Japan, Naomi Okubo later graduated from Musashino Art University. The vast complexity of natural elements, bright colors and patterns all exude a sense of abundance and gentleness, keeping the viewer dazzled and impressed by the unique girlish beauty she creates. In delicate and gorgeous scenes, differentiated as an element on the frame with a weakened narrative, the girl only serves as a symbol of the artist’s
self-awareness in exploring the interpersonal interaction between the self and other people. Okubo’s major exhibitions have been held in Tokyo, Hong Kong, New York and to be invited to show at Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo and Yarimizu Museum of Art, Tokyo.
