NANA SOEDA

Studied art in Japan and London. Influenced by toys, billboards and junk for sale in Asia, she creates work utilizing her affection for such “cheapness” as well as feelings of resentment and sadness for the senseless aspects of society.

She chooses her motifs from a large number of sketches, and

her paintings, which are always emotional, give the viewer a

clear sense of her own power. Rather than expressing negative emotions in a straightforward manner, she transforms them into lovely paintings and animations through familiar character-like visuals.
