CONTACT

Karin Iwabuchi was born in Kanagawa, Japan in 1982. She graduated from Tokyo Zokei University in 2009 with the Bachelor of Fine Arts. Iwabuchi has held more than 10 solo exhibitions and many group shows in Japan and overseas since she was a student.
She has been studying art since she was a high school student and majored in print at a university. Her works are characterized by tableaus in which she prints lace and butterfly patterns using silkscreen technique and paints clothes and flowers using collage, acrylic paints, and Japanese painting materials. Flowers and butterflies are depicted as metaphors of femininity in her work.
In her early works, she did not depict women's faces, but expressed the pain of living as a woman through the shape of feet, Now, she focuses on universal beauty and the strength of the modern woman. Recently, she has also been showing drawings and pottery that affirm the imperfections and fragility behind that strength, expressing the inner softness and honesty of women.
