The world spins into a blur of blues, yellows and browns that frame Maiko Kobayashi’s timid subject.

Maiko Kobayashi invents creatures to represent the vast range of human emotions – including those we don’t quite have names for. Moving Colours centres an ambiguous creature with a domed head and floppy ears. Energetic surroundings contrast the doleful weariness of their demure pose, downcast eyes and blank expression.

Each archival pigment print has been uniquely hand-finished by the artist in coloured pencil and oil pastel – drawing out the soft tactility of her tender creation.
