nomoco

I spent the better half of a recent Sunday afternoon poring over the sixth issue of Elephant Magazine. One of the featured artists is Nomoco, whose pieces manage to be emotive and whimsical. (And beautiful, of course!) Skill aside, I’m also drawn to these because she repeatedly incorporates my favorite shades of blue and green.

Copped her bio from her agency, Bernstein & Andriulli:

Nomoco was born in Japan and currently lives in London. She graduated from Osaka University of Arts, Japan, majoring in Graphic Design, subsequently graduating from London College of Communication, UK, with a BA in Graphic Design / Illustration, and Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design, UK, with an MA in Communication Design, majoring in Illustration.

She has exhibited her work in solo and group exhibitions in London, Milan, Tokyo, Singapore and New York. Nature and the French horn are her inspiration, and she enjoys playing with ink and its organic movement. She also produces work under her full name Kazuko Nomoto.
