有田京子 KYOKO ARITA
1990 年 大阪府生まれ

2009 年 YELLOW で制作活動を始め、2010 年頃から点描をはじめる。
絵のモチーフは色々なパンフレットや図鑑を見て描くものを決めている。
ユーモアに溢れ、作業所のムードメーカー的存在だが、作品制作に向かう際は驚くべき集中力を発揮する。描かれるモチーフは、身の回りのモノや季節のものの他に、悪戯心が現れたモチーフも登場する。それらを点描によって描くのだが、点描は年々細かになってきている。またモチーフ(図)だけでなく、背景(地)の色分けも工夫され、その上の点描による色彩効果が加わり、複雑で重層的な作品が生み出される。集中力と持続性によって生み出される高い密度の作品だが、どこか作家の人柄を映すような温かみとユーモアも兼ね備えている。

Born in Osaka, Japan, in 1990.

She started her creative activity at YELLOW in 2009.
She started pointillism around 2010. She chooses her motifs by looking at various pamphlets and encyclopedias. She has a great sense of humor and brightens up the atmosphere around her. However, once she starts on her creative work, she amazingly shows her great power of focus. The motifs that she draws aren’t always her personal belongings or seasonal items. Sometimes the motifs are something with a taste for mischief. She draws them using pointillism and the dots are becoming finer year after year. In addition to the color effect of the pointillism, because she doesn’t only put her effort into the motif but also the color arrangement on the background, complex and multi-layered-like works have been created. Her works are highly concentrated and created by her power of focus and continuity, but also have warmth and humor as if to reflect the personality of this artist.
