Yuko Nishikawa

Yuko Nishikawa creates a fantastical environment with her colorful, tactile lively forms. With a hands-on, exploratory approach, she makes paintings, lighting, mobiles and sculptures using a variety of mediums, reflecting her experiences in architecture, restoration, interior and furniture design, crafts and engineering.  Growing up in the seaside town of Chigasaki just south of Tokyo, she now resides in New York City.  She works in her Brooklyn studio which she named Forest: a place where things grow and things decay to nourish new lives, and where people can wonder and discover something new.
