Mamiko Kakitsubo
1993 born in Tokyo. 2022 currently a master's student at the Tokyo University of the Arts majoring in sculpture.
Sculptor. Born into a Catholic family and involved in producing prototypes of Miraculous Medals as part of her work.
Inspired by the myth of the creation of Mankind, she exhibited sculptures of doll(golem) and others. Thinking that "this body alone, which we will loose one day, may not prove that a human being is a human being", she works with motifs of daily goods, scenery, breathing and body heat. Considering the human body sculpture as a stiff skin in her recent works, she tries her own expression of human anatomy she is feeling, in a form of sculptures by combining materials.
Her major exhibitions include: "WALLAby" (2020, GINZA ATRIUM/GINZA TSUTAYA BOOKS, Tokyo), "DOLLMAGE" (2021, TIERS GALLERY byArakawagrip, Tokyo), "The 24th “1_WALL” Graphics Exhibition" (2021, Guardian Garden, Tokyo), solo exhibition "nobody" (2021, gallerie H, Tokyo ), solo exhibition "sign" (2021, galleryBLUE3143, Tokyo), solo exhibition "mist" (2021, FLEW GALLERY, Tokyo) . Awards received, finalist in 24th “1_WALL” Graphics and so on.
