Born in Chiba-shi, a town situated in the greater Tokyo area, in 1982, Rokkaku is best known for her large-scale, charmingly dippy landscapes depicting vivid scenes replete with female characters, tiny flowers, skulls, and animals who look as if they are suspended in motion. Through a multimedia practice incorporating wool, cardboard, layered acetate, and antique Louis Vuitton suitcases, the Japanese artist generates a visual language that takes pleasure in the simple joys of life, while equally celebrating the absurd.
