Yuriko Asano is an emerging young artist who travels to various places to learn about the local food culture and usage. She then converts her experiences and interactions with the people she encounters in each place into colorful paintings that function as records of local knowledge and customs. Her works often incorporate botanical motifs while also touching on issues such as life cycles and the symbiosis between humans and nature. Asano’s work is also on view in this year’s edition of the Aichi Triennale.
