He finds photographs of buildings around the world, vast landscapes, interesting creatures, people, ordinary utensils, and food, and paints them exactly as he sees them, with single-minded precision. The countless shades of green are particularly beautiful. He perceives red and green as the same color, so blue-and-white porcelain pots appear as a soft pink, and people’s faces appear as a light green.

“Every day I work is my reason for living,” he says. He is a big fan of sumo wrestling, and during the Kyushu tournament, he visits the sumo stable early in the morning to watch the morning practice.

As a big fan of Arashi, she has clear favorites in anime, such as characters from “Demon Slayer” and “Pokémon,” and drawing them is her happiest moment. She continues to expand the range of things she can draw, such as still lifes in the theme colors of Arashi members. Even now, she often infuses the colors and decorative shapes she uses with the meanings of Arashi members’ colors.

He never runs out of things he wants to draw, and as soon as he has a new piece of paper, he immediately starts working on a new piece. Strong black lines crawl across the canvas, and the paint is applied generously, overflowing from the palette. He creates multiple paintings at the same time, and the paintings he created yesterday are transformed into different paintings without hesitation. The layers of paint eventually take on a rich texture.

The story I had been nurturing since childhood gradually incorporated autobiographical elements and continued to evolve, eventually featuring numerous characters moving through multiple narratives. I often translate these stories into manga and paintings. I actively participate in open-call exhibitions, visit museums and art supply stores to explore various techniques, and strive to improve my skills daily.

Although the works are “drawn as seen,” they appear to be deformed. The colors also do not shy away from deviating from the actual colors. The driving force behind the drawings is the love shared with loved ones such as family and friends. Recently, the artist has been exploring new territory with a “pop and cute” style.

He never runs out of things he wants to draw, and as soon as he has a new piece of paper, he immediately starts working on a new piece. Strong black lines crawl across the canvas, and the paint is applied generously, overflowing from the palette. He creates multiple paintings at the same time, and the paintings he created yesterday are transformed into different paintings without hesitation. The layers of paint eventually take on a rich texture.

He finds photographs of buildings around the world, vast landscapes, interesting creatures, people, ordinary utensils, and food, and paints them exactly as he sees them, with single-minded precision.

He finds photographs of buildings around the world, vast landscapes, interesting creatures, people, ordinary utensils, and food, and paints them exactly as he sees them, with single-minded precision. The countless shades of green are particularly beautiful. He perceives red and green as the same color, so blue-and-white porcelain pots appear as a soft pink, and people’s faces appear as a light green.

The Kawakami Library, which is the size of a bookshelf in the studio, is filled with animal encyclopedias and dinosaur encyclopedias. When he meets people, he hands them the books he is carrying as if it were a greeting, wanting to share his love of animals with everyone. At the same time, he values “freedom,” preferring a simple, slightly comical, and honest style.

“Every day I work is my reason for living,” he says. He is a big fan of sumo wrestling, and during the Kyushu tournament, he visits the sumo stable early in the morning to watch the morning practice.

2025: Solo Exhibition “Yuki Kawakami’s Say Cheese!” (Wine Bar ile, Fukuoka City)

The Kawakami Library, which is the size of a bookshelf in the studio, is filled with animal encyclopedias and dinosaur encyclopedias. When he meets people, he hands them the books he is carrying as if it were a greeting, wanting to share his love of animals with everyone. At the same time, he values “freedom,” preferring a simple, slightly comical, and honest style.

“That’s it! I’ve got it!” With that exclamation, the drawing progresses rapidly. The beauty of the lines is exquisite, and as the artist becomes engrossed in the work, their heart races, and they whisper, “It’s shining,” while intently staring at the tip of their pen.
As a big fan of Arashi, she has clear favorites in anime, such as characters from “Demon Slayer” and “Pokémon,” and drawing them is her happiest moment. She continues to expand the range of things she can draw, such as still lifes in the theme colors of Arashi members. Even now, she often infuses the colors and decorative shapes she uses with the meanings of Arashi members’ colors.

I find joy in drawing lines, erasing them, and arranging colors. My favorite motifs are buildings and interiors. I repeatedly erase and redraw lines with an eraser to achieve straight lines, and I find the wavy lines beautiful. Once the sketch is complete, I follow a set procedure of applying paint, markers, and colored pencils to create beautiful colors. I am a methodical person who works steadily.

The story I had been nurturing since childhood gradually incorporated autobiographical elements and continued to evolve, eventually featuring numerous characters moving through multiple narratives. I often translate these stories into manga and paintings. I actively participate in open-call exhibitions, visit museums and art supply stores to explore various techniques, and strive to improve my skills daily.

He never runs out of things he wants to draw, and as soon as he has a new piece of paper, he immediately starts working on a new piece. Strong black lines crawl across the canvas, and the paint is applied generously, overflowing from the palette. He creates multiple paintings at the same time, and the paintings he created yesterday are transformed into different paintings without hesitation. The layers of paint eventually take on a rich texture.

He finds photographs of buildings around the world, vast landscapes, interesting creatures, people, ordinary utensils, and food, and paints them exactly as he sees them, with single-minded precision.
