Aomi Kikuchi is a multidisciplinary artist working in both 2D and 3D art forms, including sculpture, garments, and objects. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Kyoto University of Art and Design and her Master of Fine Arts from Pratt Institute.
This summer she will be included in Mothership NYC’s group exhibition “Pick a Card, Any Card” at Art Gotham and “La Sublime Ossessione” at Spazio SV in Venice.
Her work is deeply inspired by Buddhist philosophy and Japanese aesthetics. By embracing the concepts of impermanence and the insubstantial nature of the world, she explores themes of controlling attachments and desires to alleviate suffering. The concept of wabi-sabi involves appreciating imperfection, while mono-no-aware emphasizes compassion towards all living beings.
Through her creations, which highlight fragility and vulnerability, Kikuchi aims to raise awareness about the futility of materialistic pursuits and underscore the importance of compassion.
She views crafts as the embodiment of human cultural wisdom and actively seeks to learn and innovate across various materials and techniques from different fields. Her concern for environmental issues has inspired her to incorporate waste materials and everyday items into her art. By adopting a fresh perspective, she discovers artistic value in objects that have outlived their original purpose.
I make sculptures, wall pieces and garments using textiles and found objects.The source of inspiration is Japanese aesthetics: wabi-sabi (imperfection) and mono no aware (sympathy), and Buddha’s philosophy : impermanence, insubstantiality, and suffering. My work addresses infinity as the succession of fleeting activities. Through my artwork, I convey that compassion is a meaningful solution to alleviating cravings.
I focus on personal desires and suffering, and on people and things that are forced to suffer in order to satisfy the greed of others. Fear and disgust are also causes of suffering. I work to help people let go of negative emotions by finding new perspectives and turning negative emotions into positive ones.I am continuously examining the difference between art and craft and the potential of craft as an artistic expression. I pursue innovative art without being bound by preconceived notions.
