Goto Yasuka

Born in 1982 in Hiroshima and currently lives there. Graduated from Kyoto Seika University(faculty of arts). Because she grew up hearing the stories of war from her grandfather and great grandfather, she researches mind conflict and suffering or stories that were never famous or public and paints them on the big scaled canvas with dramatized style and she had a great reputation from those works. In recent years, her work depends on the place where she exhibits or publishes her work, she uses people’s life in that specific place as a theme. Goto’s work with an enormous and bold composition that covers that wall will be on audiences’ memories strongly with overwhelming existence and strong brushwork that comes towards the audiences.
