Chiharu Kihara is a printmaker and painter who explores the formal beauty of living creatures through a uniquely personal lens. Using lithography and silkscreen, she captures the essential forms of living things through bold color planes and dynamic line work. Taking spiders, birds, and insects as her motifs, she builds a distinctive world where humor and tension coexist. Her prints produced through Itazuri Lithographic are supported by many collectors, and her powerful yet endearing style has earned high acclaim both in Japan and abroad.
This lithograph is an early edition work co-produced in 2004 by Chiharu Kihara and Itazuri Lithographic Studio. Limited to only 20 prints, and with more than two decades having passed since its creation, works from this edition rarely surface on the market. As Itazuri Lithographic Studio has since ceased operations, no further works from this collaboration will ever be produced, making this an exceptionally scarce and collectible piece from the artist's formative years.
