22-Oct-2009
Chiho Aoshima’s work can be described as combination of manga and traditional Japanese scroll painting. The artist is associated with the superflat movement, a contemporary Japanese art movement reflecting the two-dimensionality in contemporary Japanese pop culture.


Chiho Aoshima
(青島千穂born 1974, in Tokyo  is a Japanese pop artist and member of Murakami's Kaikai Kiki Collective.
This young graphic artist began in Murakami’s factory with no formal art training. Aoshima’s work often involves surreal scenes and dreamscapes, often including ghosts, demons, nature and young women. Aoshima mostly prints large scale images onto papers with heavy-duty printers, but she has also printed on materials such as leather and plastic surfaces to give her images different textures. Aoshima now lives and works in Tokyo. 

Aoshima has exhibited internationally, and her work is held in a number of collections - including Ackland Art Museum, North Carolina, and the Seattle Art Museum. She has also shown her work in London and New York subway stations.

Aoshima has also done a sculpture piece and an animation, and she has recently revealed her largest image yet which measures 32.5 meters in length and 4.8 meters in height. In addition, Aoshima has her work on the walls of the New York City Transit. The images in the train station are part of her City Glow Series. 

Aoshima states that, "My work feels like strands of my thoughts that have flown around the universe before coming back to materialise."
