“This world is so isolated it is funny and so beautiful I could cry.” – Yukiko Hata

This is how Yukiko Hata, the painter featured in this exhibition, explained the world painted in her works.

Her works were born from her struggle facing the world as it is with complete sincerity. They take you from the extreme complexity of society to the delicate inner world of individuals. The detailed elements and vivid colors which draw you in are also the keys to fully understanding her works.

Is the world in her paintings a real world, a hallucination, or even an omen of things to come?

In any case, a close examination of her paintings might broaden your vision to a world previously unseen.

We invite you to experience a new world through the painter’s eyes and to feel pleasure as you uncover meaning in her works.
