Waitingroom Gallery Presents Rikako Kawauchi
Rikako Kawauchi’s artistic inquiry often centers on the body, viewed through themes of food and eating. Drawing upon South American and African myths as metaphors, she explores binaries such as body and mind, self and other. Working across diverse media — including painting, drawing, neon and marble — Kawauchi’s practice is consistently defined by the “line,” which she uses to vividly reveal both physical and spiritual states. Her expressive brushwork captures the body’s movements and emotions with a sense of immediacy and speed.
For this specific exhibition, Kawauchi focuses on the core duality expressed in the title, presenting a new body of work that deeply investigates the complex relationship between animals and humans.
