Asami Shoji was born in 1988 in Fukushima, Japan. She obtained her MFA in printmaking from Tama Art University in Tokyo in 2012. She currently lives and works in Tokyo. Shoji’s work envisions lines, the contours of the creatures in her paintings, as a threshold that opens up dimensions characterized by their movements, rather than boundaries segregating the opposites. The spatial experiences conjured by her paintings transcend the static realm, giving birth to a dynamic tableau where sensory perceptions intermingle and flow unrestrictedly. Her work invites the viewer into intricate narratives and sensory explorations, painting not merely a visual image but also imprinting a visceral experience upon the consciousness, offering a multifaceted exploration of the intricacies of existence and perception.
