Yuka Doutou - Untitled #1

Contemporary Silkscreen

A fabulous print by Yuka Doutou: Untitled #1. A vast field of black-ink doodles unfolds across the sheet - hundreds of tiny figures, animals, and playful objects scattered like fragments of memory. Everyday scenes, cartoonish faces, and abstract shapes drift together in Doutou’s distinctive hand-drawn style. The sheer scale of this 2019 silkscreen makes it a particularly special piece, capturing her intricate world of imagination on a grand surface. ✨🎠

About the Artist

道藤由加 Yuka Doutou (b. 1983, Hyōgo) builds exuberant silkscreen prints that shift with every glance. From afar, her candy-bright surfaces appear carefree and textile-like; up close, they burst into crowds of animated characters - playful, chaotic, and full of mischief. Balancing light-hearted colour with an undertone of unease, Doutou captures what she calls “Carefree Moment, Bad Premonition” (呑気な時間、嫌な予感). Winner of the Jury Prize at the Tokyo International Mini-Print Triennial, Doutou's contemporary works are a marvel to behold. [ ← View All Works by Yuka Doutou]
