Arisa Yamamoto “Today, We Lived Again”
I visited Arisa Yamamoto’s solo exhibition being held at The Artcomplex Center.
I had seen several of Arisa Yamamoto’s works at group exhibitions, and there were always red-dot stickers (sold) attached — she gave me the impression of an artist with a loyal following, someone strongly supported.
Seeing the works up close, I was drawn in by the soft, meticulous lines and gentle use of color, and the subjects of the paintings are also fascinating.
The works were sold out, but there was also a project offering business-card-sized cards to take home free of charge, one per set. I felt I caught a glimpse of the artist’s kindness.

I visited on the closing day of the show, but the works had apparently already sold out on opening day.
A truly popular artist! I’ll be watching her activities closely from now on.
