SHOKO FUJIMORI
b. 1986, JapanShoko Fujimori belongs to the third generation of post-war Japanese artists and releases her reflections on today’s society through oil painting. Intrigued since her adolescence by social relations in Japan and by the confrontation between what the artist calls ‘private opinion’ and ‘public opinion’, the artist underlines and normalises the duality between what one lets appear and what one is: a concept at the antipodes of Japanese social functioning. She uses her attraction for the study of skin to open the doors to a universal realistic world in which human beings, alone, in groups or in families, come to life in the face of nature.
