Conjuring light and wilderness in incredible works of art, Konoike's crystallizes Japanese mythology for instants of beauty. Finished with a modern twist Konoike is at once ethereal and sharply self-reflective.
At home in a long list of talent, the Akita-born Konoike is represented by Mizuma Art Gallery in Tokyo, Japan.
