Ayako Rokkaku has been dubbed "the next Yoshitomo Nara in the Japanese art scene." Her works are collected by institutions such as the Powerlong
Art Museum in China, Sehwa Museum of Art in Korea, 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa in Japan and the Voorlinden Museum in the Netherlands. She has held solo exhibitions in France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Japan, and other countries. From self-analysis, Rokkaku
listed three characteristics of her paintings: “plain scribbling,”“the act of getting out something inside me,” and “kid’s drawing.” By returning to purity and connecting with the primal force of life, she allows us to rediscover the child within ourselves through her art. Perhaps this is why Ayako Rokkaku is so popular. The artwork Untitled portrays the iconic, brighteyed, and curious young female protagonist of
Rokkaku's works. This mischievous girl with large eyes is tied with a cute side ponytail, dressed in a vibrant little dress, walking barefoot in a fantastical world
composed of colorful hues, seemingly amidst clouds or in a flower garden. The girl covers her mouth, taking bold strides forward, fearlessly leading the viewer on an adventurous journey. The bright and harmonious colors, the precise yet lively brushstrokes, and the pure gaze of the child remind us of the joy of freely exploring the world and that state of complete immersion we experienced when we first came into this world.
