About the Artists

tamimoon
Tamimoon is an artist who draws women with a focus on fashion. In February 2022, she established the illustration and modeling agency "tamimoon." In the same year, she published her first book "IDENTITY."

Hakuiki Shiroi
Hakuiki Shiroi began production activities in 2017 and started exhibiting works in 2018. The colors and other images of his works are inspired by digital information on the Internet. The concept of his work, created through his own body, is "to have mass in the material world," and the weight (in grams) of the ink used in the work becomes the "title" of the work. The act of the purchaser cutting the artwork directly and affixing it to a familiar object is incorporated into the concept of the work as a kind of complicity between the artist and the viewer.
