新藤杏子 Kyoko Shindo（b.1982, Tokyo）
新藤杏子1982 年出生於東京，2007 年畢業於多摩美術大學研究所美術研究領域。她的創作是從日常生活中的生命經驗提取並內省轉化。像是生物通過土壤中的微生物和養分生長繁殖，最後又回歸於大地並產生新生命的生生不息循環。
並將自身的生命經驗再重製成新的故事與概念，構築成自己的繪畫風格。而新藤杏子的作品，筆觸猶如新生且蓬軟充滿豐富膏脂的羊絨，既柔軟又充滿空氣感的繪畫方式，也像是有機的藤蔓，蓬勃的在畫布上構築著令人感到幸福溫暖的生活，也許可以勾起你過往的美好經驗與回憶。
Kyoko Shindo was born in Tokyo in 1982 and graduated in 2007 from the Graduate School of Fine Arts at Tama Art University. Kyoko Shindo's practices draw inspiration from everyday life experiences and undergo a process of introspection. Similar to the perpetual cycle of life, where organisms flourish and propagate through the symbiotic relationship between microorganisms and nutrients in the soil, eventually returning to the earth to foster new life, Shindo strives to reshape her personal narratives into fresh conceptual frameworks, giving birth to her unique artistic style.
With skillful brushstrokes, Shindo captures an ethereal essence reminiscent of lush, newly grown wool, infusing her creations with a captivating blend of softness and airy qualities.Her paintings exude a vibrant energy akin to organic vines, dynamically interweaving on the canvas to construct an inviting tableau that evokes a deep sense of warmth and joy, immersing viewers in a nostalgic journey through cherished memories.
