Ayaka Ito

Artist / Painter / Performing art creator

 Ayaka Ito creates acrylic paintings and performing art as "pictures made in a space". Her art works are often evaluated as "performing art-like paintings" and "painting like-performing art". She aims to create art works which touch the heart of those that see them, and become their hope.

 As for creative activities, Ito values words, time flows, sound, space and relationships with others.

Ito presides over a long-term arts project, titled “Kuchibue Lamp” (Whistle Lamp). She plays the role of producer, director, set designer and cast for its performing art works.

 Other than the above, she conducts a wide range of activities as an artist, such as the creation of graphic designs, making props for performing art, appearances in videos and as a photo-session model.

・She graduated from the Department of Scenography, Display and Fashion Design, College of Art and Design, Musashino Art University, Tokyo, Japan

・She studies under Kanda Saori, an artist, a contemporary art performer.  

 

・She performed and created stage properties in three performing art works shown below, from the leading Japanese underground theatrical company “Engeki Jikkenshitsu◉Banyu Inryoku”:

“Shintokumaru” in 2017

“Kyojin Kyoiku” ('Madman Education') in 2018

“Nuhikun” ('Directions to Servants') in 2019

Deference to light and words,

Admiration of sound and dance,

It is like

seeing

fragments

of

memories

Expression is imagination. I believe imagination enriches the hearts of people, and those who are rich in spirit can be kind to others.

I am engaged in painting and performing arts, which are regarded as two different fields. Of course, they apply different methods of expression, and use different materials. However, for me they are very similar in terms of motivation, and in the act of expressing scenery in my mind’s eye. Being free from frameworks of expression, I believe I can fully use my imagination to take those who see my work further and deeper into a different world. Therefore, I am purely in pursuit of ideal ways of expression that I love.

 

Here, light is called "Now" 

I hope that the passion and atmosphere of my work

Will touch those who see it,

And that we can share happiness with warm hearts.                  Ayaka Ito.
