Aika Furukawa
Through her work Aika Furukawa aims to catch a glimpse of impermanence within the beauty of everyday life. Her primary ambition is to empower the viewer, fostering a heightened sense of awareness and sensitivity.
Aika Furukawa uses translucent linen canvases. She creates immersive interplay with the exhibition space, thereby crafting a multidimensional experience. Since 2007, her focal motif has been the concept of 'Folds.' These organic creases manifest ubiquitously in the fabric of our daily existence. Though easily overlooked in our habitual routines, folds persistently morph, evoking an acute aware ness of life's impermanence.
Aika was born in Aichi, Japan in 1982. She finished her studies at the Tokyo University of the Arts in 2008. Agency for Cultural Affairs of The Japanese Government and Pola Art Foundation; Trainee in 2012-15.
Her artistic journey spans across Brussels, Leipzig and Tokyo.
