Oishi Sayaka was born in Kyoto, Japan, in 1980. She pursued her education in ceramics at the Kyoto City University of Arts. Growing up in a rural area has significantly influenced her artistic perspective, as she draws inspiration from nature and its inherent rules and laws. Oishi believes that these natural principles manifest perfect beauty, which can be observed through concepts such as symmetry, fractals, and the Fibonacci sequence.
The central theme of Oishi’s work is “decoration,” which she views as a vital means of expressing complex human emotions. She posits that decoration serves as a form of communication that predates written language. This belief underscores her interest in exploring the fundamental meanings behind experiences and emotions, suggesting that they are part of a universal codification that art can reveal.
In her artwork, Oishi employs a mix of organic and inorganic motifs, combining elements like human hands, guns, moss, and plates. This blending creates a sense of chaos that can evoke discomfort among viewers. Her approach reflects Japan’s rich cultural tapestry—an island nation that has absorbed various foreign influences while maintaining its unique identity.
