赤江かふお
1985年、京都市下鴨生まれ。
現代美術、視覚文芸、身体表現を横断し、「欲望」「身体」「都市」「記憶」を主題に活動するアーティスト。
幼少期から下鴨神社の古本市に親しみ、『奇譚クラブ』『風俗奇譚』など挿絵入り雑誌との出会いを通じて、視覚表現と物語が交差する出版文化に強い関心を抱く。日本における戦前から現代に至るまでの逸脱的な欲望の美学や、雑誌メディアにおける身体表象・アイデンティティの変容も、長年にわたり創作活動の核となっている。
京都市内の企業勤務を経て、京都造形芸術大学（現・京都芸術大学）情報デザイン学科イラストレーションコースで学ぶ。在学中に培った現代美術の理論と技法を基盤に、独自の表現活動を展開。21歳で京都傀儡堂（祇園バルバラ）にて龍崎飛鳥に師事し、パフォーマンスやドミナ表現にも取り組む。
2010年代以降、汚点紫（京都）、京大西部講堂、ヴァニラ画廊（東京・銀座）など全国各地で個展やパフォーマンス出演。主に顔彩による絵画、視覚文芸、テキスト、パフォーマンスなど多様な手法を通じて、現代都市における欲望、孤独、親密性、身体、記憶の諸相を詩的かつ批評的に表現している。
現在は神奈川県横須賀市にアトリエ兼住居を構え、アーカイブ的視点や詩的アプローチを重視しつつ、ジャンル横断的な実践を継続。現代美術、視覚文化、身体、セクシュアリティ、記憶など、複数の領域を越えて個人と社会の関係性を独自の視点で問い続けている。
Akae Kafuo
Born in 1985 in Shimogamo, Kyoto.
An artist whose practice traverses contemporary art, visual literature, and body expression, engaging primarily with the themes of desire, the body, the city, and memory.
From an early age, developed a strong interest in publishing culture where visual expression and narrative intersect, influenced by visits to the used book market at Shimogamo Shrine and encounters with illustrated magazines such as Kitan Club and Fuzoku Kitan. The aesthetics of deviant desire in Japan from the prewar era to the present, as well as the representation of the body and the transformation of identity in magazine media, have long served as the core of her creative practice.
After working for a company in Kyoto, she studied in the Illustration Course of the Department of Information Design at Kyoto University of Art and Design (now Kyoto University of the Arts). Drawing on the theories and techniques of contemporary art acquired during her studies, she has developed her own independent approach to artistic practice. At the age of 21, she began training under Asuka Ryuzaki at Kyoto Kairaido (Gion Barbara), pursuing performance and dominatrix-based expression.
Since the 2010s, she has held solo exhibitions and performances at venues including Shimimurasaki (Kyoto), Kyoto University Seibu Auditorium, and Vanilla Gallery (Ginza, Tokyo), among others. Through paintings primarily using gansai (Japanese traditional opaque watercolor), visual literature, text, and performance, she poetically and critically explores facets of desire, loneliness, intimacy, the body, and memory within the contemporary city.
Currently based in Yokosuka, Kanagawa, where she maintains a combined atelier and residence. Emphasizing archival perspectives and poetic approaches, she continues to pursue cross-disciplinary practices. Traversing contemporary art, visual culture, the body, sexuality, and memory, she persistently re-examines the relationship between the individual and society from her own unique perspective.
