Chihiro Kabata
Chihiro Kabata is a Japanese artist whose drawings and sculptures accumulate delicate ink lines into powerful visions. Chihiro Kabata's medium of choice — ballpoint pen on paper – is deceptively humble, making the final result all the more unanticipated. Her works bring together the visual idioms of old Japan and the metaphysics of contemporary art.
She is a practicing visual artist originally from Tokyo, Japan. She received her MFA from Musashino Art University. Chihiro Kabata has had numerous solo and group exhibitions internationally. Venues have included
the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, The Ueno Royal Museum, Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore ( ICAS ), gallery alpha M ( Musashino Art University ), Zibo museum, Pyeongtack museum, Nam-seoul university gallery, Art Front Gallery at Tokyo, kashya Hildebrand at Switzerland, and others. She was noticed in The College Art Association 101ST ANNUAL CONFERENCE NEW YORK( CAA)
