About the Item

Represented by George Billis Gallery, NY & LA -- Asae Soya obtained a doctorate in fine arts from the Tokyo University of the Arts in 2006. She works in interdisciplinary fields, such as painting, installation and video installation. Asae’s works are all filled with vibrant colors and light, while also possessing a dynamic sensation and subtlety that can awaken not only viewers’ visual senses but also their physical sensations. In 2001, she won the Grand Prize in the SHELL ART AWARD, and in 2002, the VOCA Prize in Vision of Contemporary Art. In 2013, she won the Culture and Art Incentive Award in the Yokohama Culture Award, and also the Future Prize in the Kanagawa Cultural Award. For all of 2014, she was in NYC through a fellowship from the Japanese Government. Her activity is currently based at ISCP in 2014. Soya creates paintings, installations and visual installations that express the integration of light, color and physical sensation.The series “Bathtub” was the first work to express this concept to focus on bathtubs as a special place to confront physical sensation. Recognizing the nature of physical sensation should lead to the interest in the dynamism in the brain on expressing it and the installation series titled “Ringing Color” and “Ringing Light” were created to “visualize scenes where colors and lights generate sounds”. These installations works represent scenes that she senses whenever she draws pictures and those were produced by attaching the objects that represent ripple of sound throughout the room. Followed by this is another visual installation work titled “Space” where “energy produced in our mind on creation” was illustrated as “forest of colors”. The installation projects an animation created from the watercolor paintings saturating the room. In the understanding of how we sense the world, what is happening in our mind when we try to express that world by using a variety of ways, Soya creates a process that could be a trigger to activate not only our visual sensation but also our physical sensation.
