Sie Kasahara
abstract painter / sculptor / textile designer
1973 born in Japan, based in Tokyo
2009 12th Liquitex Biennale
Encouraging Prize and Judge Prize (Takayuki Terakado Prize)
Her works are represented by art gallery closet and Kurum'art Contemporary in Tokyo, and the works also have been exhibited internationally in LA, Houston, USA, Hamburg, Germany and in Bolzano, Italy. She also has been invited some Artist Residencies in Austria, Romania, and Chile and Art Festival in India.
Some works have been adopted on products such as i-Phone cases, luncheon mats and notebooks, and as an article of magazines, book cover design and it was also used for the poster and brochures of Liquitex acrylic paints.
What she expresses in her art is the "collective unconscious", which is actually a psychological term. She expresses feelings and sensations of the hidden sub consciousness that humans all naturally share, and this is what is called "the collective unconscious".
Even in today's world which is flooded with symbols and icons, but there are still many things which cannot be defined by words or symbols. And she feels as though there are many people who want to express those feelings and thoughts which are inexpressible.
She expresses feelings and sensations which cannot be described with language in her work.
She captures the raw and unprocessed emotions of the sub consciousness before they can become comprehensible. She expresses them in obscure shapes and colors, because they have no names. Her hands create the work without any conscious image. The drawing is automatic; drawing without thinking about anything. Therefore she always tries to empty her mind.
Her art will be able to stimulate the thoughts of viewers and let them recall something unexpectedly.
She gives you some catharsis, when you see her work. It is intimately extroverted so you can talk with them easily.
Perhaps if it looks not so strong, actually but it is strong as you know. The poetic title is helps that you connect to sub consciousness.
She creates something that is totally incomprehensible but stirs your imagination.
You don’t need to know everything, but you can feel everything.

笠原 しい Sie Kasahara
1973年生まれ 東京都在住
2009年、第12回リキテックスビエンナーレ奨励賞、審査員賞(寺門孝之賞)W受賞
個展やグループ展での発表の他、海外のレジデンシー、アートフェスティバル等参加。

近年、立体作品の制作やテキスタイルデザインなども開始。
無意識下での言語を超えたコミュニケーションが彼女の求めるものである。
無意識への興味は幼少の頃に見た夢から。夢を入り口に「無意識=シュールレアリスム」の在り方を知る。彼女は、シュールレアリスムの自動記述のように、自らの意思を出来るだけ排除し、意図しないことで無意識下にあるもの画面に引き出す。完成形をイメージせず、何気ないひとつの動作が次の動作を生み、その繰り返しで、作品は出来上がっていく。出来たものと対峙して、そこから受ける印象を言葉に置き換えてタイトルとしている。詩的なタイトルは、その世界に入るスイッチのような役割を果たしている。
