長井朋子 / Tomoko NAGAI

国内外で多数展覧会に参加している他、被災した宮城県の保育所のプールに絵を描くプロジェクト、NHK Eテレへの作品提供、本の装画等幅広く活動する。
作品の中の森や部屋には、動物や子供達、木やキノコが劇場のように配置され、イメージの層が複雑に重なり合う躍動感と空間性と、多彩なマチエールや筆致がリズムとなり、ひとつの音楽を奏でるような表現となっている。

Tomoko NAGAI

1982 Born in Aichi,Japan,Currently lives in Tokyo

In addition to the participation in numerous exhibitions internationally and domestically, Nagai has engaged with broad audiences providing title designs and artworks for television programmes on NHK Educational, as well as creating book covers for a range of publications. She has also taken part in a project in which she painted an entire swimming pool at a nursery school located in the tsunami-stricken area of Miyagi.
In Tomoko Nagai’s artworks, various animals, children, trees and mushrooms are depicted in a theatrical arrangement against the backdrop of forests and domestic rooms. A unique sense of spatiality, wherein a dynamism intricately overlaps with layers of images, the colorful matière and brushstrokes form a fantastical rhythm as the artist exercises an expression akin to composing a musical piece.
