CHICHI

Artist: CHICHI

CHICHI (by Chiharu Kanai)
Born in Gunma Prefecture in 1977, this artist and painter has been aware of himself as a painter since he was a child, and has been self-taught. He has created free and unique works that are not bound by anything, from illustration-style works to semi-three-dimensional paintings, and is a prolific artist whose world is constantly being born.
In fact, behind all this lies a life full of ups and downs, and his colorful life is always expressed in his works, and the transformations he undergoes are also fascinating.
He had always traveled freely between Japan and overseas, creating fun, colorful works of art, but halfway through his goal, his life changed completely.
In 2009 and 2011, he received inappropriate medical treatment twice in a row, which left him with serious after-effects, including eye problems, and he is now disabled in one of his eyes.
Amidst despair, he is grateful for his strength and mission to still be able to paint, and for the art world that has allowed him to survive, and he resolves to live a second life as a painter.
She describes the past as her "red life" and the present as her "blue life," and aims to be active both at home and abroad. "Until now, I have painted with big, lively eyes. Now, I paint with the eyes of my heart." Her eternal theme is truth and love.
