關於
Naoshi是一位旅居於美國西岸的沙畫作家。創作時她會依著想像，讓自己投入一個充滿色彩鮮豔、居住著各種卡通人物的世界，並以沙畫創作這些角色各自的生活日常。她的創作風格有時被戲稱為“一格漫畫”。在她的作品中，卡通人物角色的日常生活被沙畫精細地組建，但這些角色的面部卻通常是毫無表情甚至冷漠。然而，作品的氛圍卻讓這些卡通人物看起來總是很開心。這不僅僅是因為作品中的色彩鮮豔繽紛、內容活潑逗趣。更多的是，那源自於她對這世界的獨特視角。她以一種真誠、可愛又有時有點刻薄的方式，捕捉到了對未來的嚮往與當下生活中的真摯情感、尷尬和詼諧，她的作品像是作家Naoshi自己對真誠的人們的一個祈願，希望大家都能如畫作中的她們一樣處變不驚的生活。
Naoshi was born in Iwate, Japan, and currently lives and works in Los Angeles. She works with the medium of sand art known as Sunae in Japanese. Using brightly colored, shiny grains of sand, she visualizes a fantastical world of her own, imbued with a sense of nostalgia.
For Naoshi, Sunae is a visual tool to express unique worldviews. In addition to creating her own artworks, Naoshi makes Sunae kits, which are available to the public, and runs workshops in the hope of sharing the joy of using this expressive art form.
