I have spent aaages trying to remember the n ame of an artist whose exhibition i had seen years ago, when I stumbled across the work again on the baltic website. Chiho Aoshimas work is so outstanding. Her work is all based on fantasy; the characters, cities and landscapes are from another world and I think the way she create s makes each aspect stand out on it's own and work with everything else in the design works amazingly well. She is known as a pop artist, and as well as her illustration work, she has also experimented with sculpture and animation. Her pieces are mostly large scale, covering all the wall space in the area she is exhibiting in. Looking at these images it's easy for me to see that they don't do her work justice, when looking at Chihos work up close you can see every little detail and the colours are so bold and bright that your eye is immediately drawn to her pieces.
"My work feels like strands of my thoughts that have flown around the universe before coming back to materialise."
