TOMOKO HOKYO
Nata in Giappone, Chuba nel 1984, Tomoko Hokyo consegue un BFA presso Joshibi High School di Art e Design di Tokyo nel 2007. L’arte di Hokyo affronta il delicato e attuale tema sociale della definizione di gender. Nelle sue opere, l’artista focalizza la decorazione sull’abito, scegliendo di mescolare una palette di azzurri e rosa, colori usati per distinguere i bambini alla nascita, dando così risalto alla scelta individuale del costume, il Kimono, a segno di libertà di gender e quale sinonimo di uguaglianza.Tomoko Hokyo ha collaborato con numerose compagnie televisive Kazakhstan Television in 2014, con il Tokyo Newspaper in 2015, e il J-WABE Tokyo Morning Radio in 2019. Ha esposto in numerose gallerie in Giappone in particolare a Tokyo, e vinto numerosi premi dal 2007 ad oggi. Espone per la prima volta con la DCG.
