Yuriko Asano

Born in Miyagi in 1990.
Yuriko Asano visits various places to learn about local food culture and usage of plants, tracing her own experiences and interactions with the people she meets, and creates paintings as if she were recording what has been handed down in the local area. These works are not mere botanical paintings, but rather focus on the wisdom and knowledge that has long been passed down from generation to generation in the local area. They also include an awareness of contemporary issues such as the symbiosis between humans and nature, which is being lost in modern society, the perspective on non-human lives, the cycle of life, and women’s labor. Through her colorful and vital paintings, Asano is trying to celebrate this rich world.
