Through an intense communion with her subjects — cats, birds, insects, flowers, and beyond — she channels raw energy into every canvas. Painting with her fists, palms, and entire body, her explosive strokes manifest the very \"source of vitality,\" shaking the viewer to their core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis long-awaited debut monograph centers on works from her solo exhibition series \"Vitalism,\" held nearly every year since 2012. It also features approximately 120 tableaux including early works from her first solo show in 1999, plus a selection from her remarkable \"5-Minute Drawing\" series — daily works posted on Mercari since 2016, now numbering over 12,000. The volume is enriched by critical essays from art historian Shin Shimao and contemporary art critic Ren Fukuzumi, along with a conversation with her longtime friend Shizuyo Yamasaki (Nankai Candies). A quarter-century of artistic practice, distilled into one essential volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: B5, softcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePages: 160\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished: December 20, 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN: 978-4-87586-721-0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: Geijutsu Shinbunsha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrdering and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease contact roidworksgallery in Yushima, Tokyo before ordering to confirm availability, shipping charges and dispatch timing.
