Wada’s work is characterised by the use of very bright colors and a unique technique which involves mixed media. Wada: ‘I loved drawing and painting since my childhood. I came to love bright colors and shiny materials from about 14 years old. I have studied ways to paint with them. And I think about the world of mind. I want to paint about that.’ This will be the first time her work will be shown outside of Japan.Ayako Rokkaku (b. 1982) won the Scout Prize at Geisai #4. She has made an impressive development over the last few years, resulting in shows at renown international art fairs and two big solo exhibitions in museum ‘De Kunsthal’ (Rotterdam, The Netherlands) and the ‘Meulensteen Danubiana Art Museum’ (Slovakia).
