日本當代藝術經常與影響深遠、以村上隆為首的「超扁平」運動劃上等號，或受到奈良美智的可愛風格所影響，被冠上「卡娃依」的外號，甚至讓人聯想到草間彌生的普普畫風。今次拍賣會隆重介紹多位才華橫溢、年輕出眾的日本藝術家，風格有別於以上各個藝術運動的大方向，聚焦於簡約主義、人物肖像、超現實，以至抽象主義。這批年輕藝術家的作品，為日本當代藝術注入新氣象，讓觀眾以全新角度審視既有藝術形式。

這位嶄露頭角的新晉藝術家，透過澎湃的筆觸和用色，邀請觀眾進入她的魔幻世界。她在二〇〇九年於金沢美術工藝大學取得油畫碩士學位後，憑藉色彩斑斕的構圖、流暢的線條及神秘的畫中人物，旋即受到日本藝壇的注視，晉身首要年輕藝術家之一。她曾在二〇一〇至二〇一三年間於東京YUKA TSURUNO藝廊舉行多場重要個展，當中包括「Neighbor’s Garden」（二〇一三年）。新近群展包括東京元麻布藝廊的「Pinpoint」（二〇一四年）及Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery的「Why not live for art? I - 9 collectors Reveal their Treasures」（二〇一三年）。加入藝壇之初，她曾獲得蜆殼美術賞第二名，並獲愛知藝術文化計劃挑選為二〇一〇年Arts Challenge的參與者之一。她的作品已成為Pigozzi Collection、宮津大輔收藏及西脇市岡之山美術館等私人及公共機構的收藏品。
