Minako Nishiyama
Born in 1965 and Lives in Hyogo. 1991, MA Kyoto City University of Arts. 1997, Six-month residency in New York supported by the Asian Cultural Council. 2003, Banff Creative Residency, Canada.
Since the late 1980s, despite majoring in oil painting, Minako Nishiyama has created objects from cloth; three-dimensional pulp pieces; and works that employ Japanese “girl culture”, including “The Pink House”, reminiscent of the gigantic, Barbie house-like “Licca-chan’s house”, and Takarazuka Revue’s backdrop-esque pieces. Later, she began to work on fragile pieces using crowns and roses made from sugar as motifs, as well as wall paintings and “Ref-work”, a series that makes use of light reflection. She employs various mediums to express her art.
