Exhibition of Artwork by Chisami Tsuchiya

18 Jan - 18 Feb 2010 , Basingstoke


¡ÆDee and Dum¡Ç from the Japanese Alice series by Chisami TsuchiyaFairfields Arts Centre is very pleased indeed to curate and bring you this solo exhibition of very beautiful work by this amazing young Artist who lives in Japan. Chisami Tsuchiya¡Çs work combines the beauty of 'ukiyo-e' with the excitement of modern manga and anime. A bold claim, but not undeserved in this case. And by using computers instead of woodblocks, she has made Japanese Prints for the 21st Century.

Her beautifully detailed and colourful illustrations draw primarily on Japanese stories and culture, but also on ¡ÆAlice in Wonderland¡Ç. We will be showing both these themes of her work in this exhibition. We have exhibited some of her work here in the past in the last two 'UK International Manga Art Shows¡Ç we curated, and it was greatly admired by the public. Her work has started to be published both in the UK and Japan, and there is already an international fan club for her work. Chisami Tsuchiya¡Çs work is much more than just illustration though, and each piece is a very beautiful piece of art in its own right.
