About the Item
This is original work by Wada Chizu ( Japanese )
acrylic on canvas
Chizu Wada’s artistic practice is centered on engaging with the viewer’s perception to unveil the deceptive nature of cute image and exploring the idea of pursuing the utopia, the imaginary childhood that she never actually had. Chizu Wada explores issues such as loneliness, isolation and, spirituality by featuring innocent girl and animal figures in cartoonish manner. The subject matter of her drawing and paintings is deceptively simple. Most works depict one innocuous subject often a pastel-hued girl and animals in surreal landscapes. The girl appears at first cute and vulnerable but her freighted and curious wide eyes often hold anxious looks. This could be expressions of curiosity towards the unknown realm and a reaction to Japan's rigid social conventions.
The embodiment of ‘kawaii’(cuteness) through the characters she creates carries a fantasy that is intertwined with her personal memories. The repeated subject, "big-eyed girl" befriended with fictional dog-like creatures rather than with a human friend resonate with her lonely and restricted childhood. Chizu Wada grew up with rigid Japanese parents and her parents did not allow Wada to pursue her childhood dream of being a painter so she drew and painted on her own. It was time when Japan was experiencing an inundation of Western pop culture; comic books, and Walt Disney animation and she could explore her young imagination through comic books and animation. This explains Wada’ incorporation of the imagery of manga and anime into her ethereal landscape and the unique blend of fantasy and reality.
Chizu Wada creates an innocent girl who bonded with faithful animals indulging in in her fantasy world of her own. She is in loving and playful activities searching for the utopia with her animal buddy but not in a real relationship with people. Forming a strong bondage with animals feeling faithful and unconditional love through them rather than through a human reflects the loneliness and isolation she endured and the happiness she had to find in the restricted circumstances. Chizu Wada currently lives and works in Kyoto presenting numerous solo and group exhibitions in Japan, Hong Kong
