1973 born in Japan, based in Tokyo
2009 12th Liquitex Biennale
Encouraging Prize and Judge Prize (Takayuki Terakado Prize)
Her work is represented by several art galleries in Tokyo, and also have been exhibited internationally in LA, Houston (USA), Hamburg (Germany) and in Bolzano (Italy). She also has been invited to some Artist Residencies in Germany, Austria, Romania, Chile and an Art Festival in India.

Concept
What she expresses in her art is the "collective unconscious", which is actually a psychological term. She expresses feelings and sensations of the hidden subconsciousness that all humans naturally share, and this is what is called the "collective unconscious".
Even in today's world, which is flooded with symbols and icons, there are still many things which cannot be defined by words or symbols. And she feels that there are many people, who want to express those feelings and thoughts, which are inexpressible.
She expresses feelings and sensations in her work, which cannot be described with words.
The raw and unprocessed emotions of the subconsciousness, before they can become comprehensible, are captured by her. Because these unprocessed emotions have no names, she expresses them in abstract shapes and colors. Her hands create the work without any image in her mind. The drawing is done without thinking about anything, therefore she always tries to have a blank, empty mind.
Her art will be able to stimulate the thoughts of the viewer, and let them recall something unexpectedly.
Her work may give you some kind of catharsis. It is intimately extroverted, so you can communicate with it easily. The poetic titles help you, to connect to the collective subconsciousness.
So, she creates something that is totally incomprehensible but stirs your imagination.

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。
