Ayako Ohno

Japan

Sculptor. Born in Saitama Prefecture in 1983. Completed the Master’s Program in Sculpture at the Graduate School of Fine Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts, in 2008. By casting a skeptical eye on and reexamining the things we take for granted in everyday landscapes and life, she makes new discoveries from the “uncertainty” that emerges. Within the freedom of her imagined images, she uses the constraints of stone as a starting point to capture, in “form,” the realm beyond language that this “uncertainty” holds.Recent major solo exhibitions include “Green Is the Color of Grass, the Color of a Mantis” (2022, CADAN Yurakucho by KAYOKOYUKI, Tokyo); group exhibitions include “The Future of Tokorozawa Art” (2023, Seibu Railway Tokorozawa Station, Saitama),“Timeline—Several Methods for Touching Time” (2019, Kyoto University Museum of Natural History, Kyoto), and “The 7th Daikokuya Contemporary Art Open Call Exhibition” (Grand Prize, 2012, Itamuro Onsen Daikokuya, Tochigi).
