For the Month of December 2011 @ Blim Gallery
Blim presents:
Chotto Motto
New work by Kaori Kasai
Opening: 8 – 11 PM, Friday December 2 | Runs December 2 – 29
Chotto (little) Motto (more)
Little creatures pop out of Kao's brain around midnight and tell her, “more, more…”. They demand more room, so she puts them onto large canvases. Other creatures do not stop moving, so she makes a short animation of them. Come to BLIM to see Kao's work. Enjoy chotto motto holiday gifts by Kao, including prints, dolls, lucky-charms, and a little more.
Kaori Kasai (a.k.a. Sleepless kao), artist-in-motion, graduated from Setsu Mode, Tokyo, for fashion illustration, traveled to live and work in San Francisco, Hong Kong, and now Vancouver. She creates her own world of eccentric creatures and personalities which bloom into the void: gigantic space dotted with tiny, intimate kinships and spirits bumping into one another, narrating signs of life across a dreamt universe. Her works have been exhibited at gallery 1 (Japan), Giant Robot, Little Otsu and SOMARTS (San Francisco), Compound Gallery (Portland), Helen Pitt Gallery and Blim (Vancouver). In 2007, Kao was invited to accompany the screening of her new animated short “Duet” at San Francisco's Asian American Film Festival and AAIFF (NY). Graduated from BCIT, Burnaby, in New Media Design. Published her 1st children's book, Monchan's Bag for Simply Read Books, Vancouver
