Chihiro Kabata

Chihiro Kabata (1978, Tokyo, Japan) graduated in 2004 with an MFA from Musashino Art University.

Chihiro’s deceptively humble medium of choice - ballpoint pen on paper - is transformed by her unique vision and artistic imagination into astonishingly complex, intricate and powerful works that combine the visual idioms of old Japan with the metaphysical concepts of contemporary art.

The artist has held numerous solo exhibitions in her native Japan and also in Singapore and Switzerland and participated in various group exhibitions, both at home and abroad. Venues have included the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, the Ueno Royal Museum, the Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore, the Zibo Museum in China, the Pyeongtaek Museum in Korea and the Kashya Hildebrand gallery in Zurich, Switzerland.
