Born in 1994 in Tokyo, Etsu Egami spent her formative years between Asia, the United States and Europe. Experiencing language and cultural barriers at many points in her life, she started questioning the reliability of linguistic as well as visual communication early on, a basic skepticism and curiosity that drives her artistic practice to this day. Etsu Egami’s paintings, oscillating indeterminately between figuration and abstraction, have made her one of the most celebrated young artists in Asia.
