■ジャズミン・フルフォード Jasmine Fulford
日本と英国を母国に持ち、人・場所・物の絵画的風景を中心に描くフルフォード。
油彩を主に用い、室内空間であれポートレートであれ、様々な情景の喜びを質感のある作品に落とし込む。
近年では、一見するとわかりやすいコンセプトだがその実理解することが困難であるようなテーマを意図的に扱う。
武蔵野美術大学(油画及び版画専攻)卒業後、Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London 修了。

■パルマーリン・マージェス Palmarin Merges
フィリピン系アメリカ人のマージェスの作品は、持続可能性を大切にする思いから身近な素材を再利用して創られる。
素材による制約はむしろ創造の原動力となる。
学生時代に版画を専攻し、現在は主にミクストメディア、特にプラスチックや厚紙といった家庭のごみ箱で見つかるようなものを用いて制作している。
マージェスの日常生活の中で拾われたこうした素材は、彼女によって加工され、パターンやコラージュ、コンクリート・ポエトリーに姿を変える。
San Francisco Art Institute 修了(版画専攻)。
日本、フィリピン、サンフランシスコ、オレゴン州ポートランド各地で展示を行う。
米国 Pacific Northwest College of Art、Marylhurst University、Pacific University でレリーフ、スクリーンプリント、ドローイングを教えた経験を持つ。

■ミア・オー Mia O.
韓国出身、現在は東京を拠点とするオー。
2003 年に国際木版画ラボ運営の長沢アートパークアーティスト・イン・レジデンス・プログラムに参加し、日本の芸術形式と出会う。
手漉きの和紙に水性インクで刷る伝統的な木版画技法に、直線や幾何学模様を組み合わせて現代的に発展させた、動きや透明感のある表現がオーの作品の特徴である。

●Jasmine Fulford is a Japanese-British artist who focuses her work on pictorial scenes of
people, places, and things. She primarily uses oil paints to convey in her works the
textured joy of various scenes whether they be interior spaces or portraiture. In her
recent work, Fulford has been focusing in particular on themes that appear to viewers
as understandable concepts, but are in fact difficult to grasp.
Jasmine Fulford graduated from Musashino Art University with a degree in painting after
having focused on oil painting and printmaking, and holds an MA in Fine Art from
Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London.

●Palmarin Merges is a Filipina American artist whose work draws from the desire to
become more sustainable by re-using materials close at hand and by adapting
restriction as a generative force for creation. Trained as a Printmaker, she now works
primarily in mixed media, especially household waste – plastic, cardboard, etc. These
common materials taken from the fabric of her daily life are processed and then
transformed into pattern, collage and concrete poetry.
Palmarin Merges holds an MFA Printmaking from the San Francisco Art Institute and
has exhibited in Japan, the Philippines, San Francisco, and Portland, Oregon. She has
previously taught Relief, Screenprint and drawing at Pacific Northwest College of Art,
Marylhurst University and Pacific University.
