Meet Kaoruko

We are pleased to announce our representation of Japanese artist, Kaoruko. Kaoruko’s large-scale paintings offer a fresh take on feminist imagery by combining codified prints taken from traditional Japanese textiles with female figures depicted in their private domestic spaces. By reflecting on a young woman’s relationship with herself, her possessions and her role in society, Kaoruko illustrates that simple, everyday rituals can lead to joy, happiness and ultimately transcendence. She currently lives and works in New York City.
