Mayuka Yamamoto's "Ephemeral Existence."

Opening on April 22nd, 2023 at Corey Helford Gallery in Los Angeles. California is artist Mayuka Yamamoto's solo exhibition, "Ephemeral Existence."

Yamamoto, a prominent second-generation contemporary Japanese artist, is renowned for her oil paintings depicting children in animal suits or other protective animalistic attire, exhibiting enigmatic expressions. Her artwork, characterized by reticence and introspection, leaves the emotions of the "animal boys" a mystery to viewers. The otherworldly calm portrayed in her subjects contrasts with their true emotional and psychological states, set against gently-colored, subtle backgrounds.

Discussing her upcoming exhibition, Yamamoto explains her inspiration from visiting catacombs in Italy and France. The Capuchin Catacombs of Palermo, with mummies of children dressed in beautiful attire, made a lasting impression. Imagining the parents dressing their deceased children, she found the concept of "ephemeral existence" perfectly capturing the essence of her artistic journey, bringing it to a conclusion.

4me4you features the artist  Mayuka Yamamoto -  ‘Tag us for a feature ’.

Artist: Mayuka Yamamoto

Embarking on a delightful visit to the Dorothy Circus Gallery, 4me4you had the privilege of immersing into the captivating world of Mayuka Yamamoto, one of Japan's foremost second-generation painters.

Widely recognised for her global artistic influence, Yamamoto's works feature children adorned with animal features and enigmatic expressions, weaving a narrative that delves into the subconscious of childhood. Her exploration of the theme becomes a gateway to understanding the emotions and lingering sensations within a child's psyche, acting as a trampoline for adult introspection.

Yamamoto's paintings unveil an intricate puzzle of emotions and mysterious symbols, drawing inspiration from the colour techniques employed by artists such as Marlene Dumas and Gilbert & George. Through her art, she guides us on a journey oscillating between tenderness and fear, providing insight into the nuanced world of today's children. Mayuka Yamamoto's work becomes a compelling exploration off the complex emotions and experiences that shape the evolving landscape of childhood.

The Work of Junko Mizuno, Mayuka Yamamoto, and Travis Lampe 

The group show opens  Saturday, February 23  from  7pm - 11pm  in  Gallery 2. The reception is open to the public and the exhibit will be on view through  Saturday, March 30. The space is open Tuesday - Saturday, 12pm - 6pm. Corey Helford Gallery is located at 571 S. Anderson St. Los Angeles, CA 90033. About Junko Mizuno: Having grown up in Tokyo, Mizuno is a self-taught artist recognized for her unique visual iconography of powerful and often sexy women. Although her art refuses to be categorized, much of it is based on Japanese pop culture from the '70s and '80s, with the source of her inspiration stemming from fetish art, folk art, religious art, psychedelic art, pin-up art, advertising art, vintage toys, fashion, comic, food, nature, movies, TV shows, video games…almost everything that surrounds her. Currently residing in San Francisco, she’s constantly working on new comics, paintings, illustrations, and product designs ranging from toy figures to T-shirts. Her work has been featured in stores, museums, and fine art galleries around the world. About Mayuka Yamamoto:Born in 1964 in Okayama, Japan, Yamamoto received her master’s degree at Tokyo’s Masashino Art University in 1990 and joined the Japanese Government Overseas Study Program for Artist to continue her studies in London until 1999. Her works have been shown in several solo shows held by Japan’s Gallery Tsubaki and her 2007 solo show, titled  Deer Boy and Other infants, was hosted by Canvas International Arts gallery in Amsterdam. She also participated in group shows at the Korean International Art Fair (2004–2007) and Young Japanese Painting (2007, Amsterdam). Yamamoto is known for her oil paintings portraying children in animal suits or possessing animal features, to reveal their inner world. Like a protective armor in response to their emotions and psychological state, they seem to instinctively hide behind a second skin in the form of animal costumes or some other defensive physical animalistic features. In some of the pieces, Yamamoto paints settings inspired by nature, further enhancing the contemplative space into which the subject seems to find solace in the dreamlike natural habitat. About Travis Lampe: Lampe grew up in a small town in Kansas. After earning a degree in Graphic Design, he took a job in advertising as an art director in Chicago. While making ads for breakfast cereals and well-known purveyors of inexpensive furniture over a period of several years, he secretly began “developing his illustration style,” which is not the same thing as “procrastinating.” Finally, when he felt the world was ready, he began his slow explosion onto the art and illustration scene, as it were. He currently lives and works in Chicago.

Mayuka Yamamoto’s “Monochrome, Apples & Animals.”

Currently on view at Corey Helford Gallery is artist Mayuka Yamamoto’s solo exhibition, “Monochrome, Apples & Animals.”

Regarding her new series, Yamamoto shares: “I wanted to keep this a secret for myself and keep it in my heart. Many years ago, there was a place I thought I had to go to, and I went there, the Catacombs in Palermo. There is a space for child mummies, and they are just standing there in dresses. The space was filled with the love of the mothers for their children. This scene lingered in my mind for a long time. I think most of the children in the pictures I draw are just standing or sitting, without much movement much like the Catacombs. I think it's because that space full of love remains in me to this day."
