Press Release

AYA TAKANO depicts the worldview that lies within herself with a degree of faithfulness to her own emotions rarely seen in the work of any other contemporary artist. Her paintings seem to break free of the laws of earthbound gravity and common sense, portraying a fantastic and bizarre sci-fi world populated by girls who frolic with gleeful abandon. This is the earnest utopia that Takano sees in her dreams, a floating vision of a Pop-inflected future that offers viewers the sensation of emotional release, beckoning them towards a glittering feast of visual pleasure.

“Return to a mythical world: the world of AYA TAKANO”, by Midori Matsui

About the Artist

Painter, illustrator, sci-fi writer and manga artist, Aya Takano belongs to Kaikai Kiki, the artistic production studio created in 2001 by Takashi Murakami. Inspired by all art forms, from erotic stamps of the Edo Period to impressionism, from Osamu Tezuka to Gustav Klimt, the artist has built a universe all her own. A universe made of infinite worlds, all means of escaping reality, gravity and its restraints, to attain a certain form of transcendence.
