Translated from Japanese into English, 'Nana-mi' means 'Seven Seas' - the title of the first Hong Kong exhibition by Japanese Australian Artist, Nanami Cowdroy. 'Seven Seas' is a introduction to Nanami's artistic expression and showcases a selection of mixed-media pieces & exhibition prints, featuring her signature themes - Goldfish, Koi, Origami Cranes and Urban-scapes washed together in one space. Drawn from the inky shores of her subconscious are a pool of exotic creatures, inner city chaos and quirky characters - illustrated meticulously through her distinctive, visual style. A black & white exhibition, set within a sea of grey.
About Nanami: Nanami Cowdroy was born in Sydney, Australia with close bonds to her mixed Japanese- European heritage. Growing up with such contrasting cultures and surroundings, has greatly influenced her style of art and creative expression.
By intertwining complex characters and highly detailed objects, her pieces reflect a juxtaposition between foreign and familiar entities and environments. Her imagination is illustrated through works that are both elaborate and exotic, suggesting themes of memory, transience, hope, and loss. She is drawn to subjects, which may on the surface seem delicate or fragile, but are given depth and a sense of permanence through her pen and ink techniques, intricate hand illustrative style and mixed media compositions.
A self-taught artist, her meticulous signature style embraces a refined monochrome palette with her name 'Nanami' (meaning 'Seven Seas' in Japanese) stamped in red. Fluid linework, spots and splatters, watery whimsical creatures and Goldfish are some of her favourite subjects, and distinctive forms featured in her emotional artworks.
