Kaori Ogura "Giving Smile"
Ouchi Gallery
This event has ended.
Kaori Ogura was born in Kanagawa, Japan in 1986. She studied graphic design at Tama art university. She has been working as an illustrator & amateur photographer. She started taking pictures when she was 18 years old. Tetsuya Ichimura, a famous Japanese photographer, put a high value on her photos during her solo exhibition in Japan in March 2009.
"When you look at Kaori Ogura's artwork that are not only paintings but also photographs, your mind and entire vision are immediately touched by a sense of nostalgia, humanity, and memoir of yours. Even though everyone has different visions, her work guide individuals back to their memoirs and recall them what and who they are. In such a real world, you would see Shangri-La in yourself through her work."
---Hironao Kato, Chief Designer/Berm Design
"When I saw Kaori Ogura's photographs in the gallery, I could feel the broad world on the other side of the screen. Her photographs have clear and simple point of view that draws sympathy from the viewers as well as beauty as pictures. They also capture the true self of the object, scenery and people. Those are the strengths of her photography."
---Kiyo Tanaka, illustrator
