Moe Nakamura completed the Joshibi University of Art and Design, M.A, Department of Painting in 2012.
She makes oil paintings and wood carving sculptures.
She held her first solo exhibition at the Gallery Tsubaki GT2 soon after graduated at university. It was very impressive and good sales. After that ,she first exhibited at Young Art Taipei 2013 from Gallery Tsubaki booth. Again her work was soon sold out, attracting customers' attention. She has since gained the popularity in Taiwan. Her work caught the eye of a Taiwanese toy company. And Moe and Gallery Tsubaki make multiple sculptures every year with that company.
She held her solo exhibition at Gallery Tsubaki in the years 2014,2016. This year she and our gallery changed our style, participated in the Art Fair Tokyo at the Gallery Tsubaki booth as Moe solo show.
Now,Moe is 30 years old,she aspired to becoming artist since childhood. Because her home environment was overflowing art. She entered the school specializing in art since her age 13. When she visited in the Niki de saint phalle museum,she was impressed so much and aimed for sculptor. Now she is making sculptures motif that fairy or yokai(monster) type of creatures. These creatures was made when she was high school student .She has created from scratch and continues still making it.
Now, so many people love her works. This reason is powerfully shaving from tree with rough touch. It’s dynamic so much and cute form. It is not only cute but also darkness and fear appears in that expression.
Fear and darkness, not just cuteness maybe the reason her works are so popular.
