Profile

Ryoko Goto was born in Tokyo in 1977.
She studied art, mainly oil painting, at Musashino Art Junior College. After she finished school, she had many solo exhibitions and performed live paintings in Tokyo, which she continues today. Her favorite artists include Saburo Aso, Jackson Pollock, Isamu Noguchi.
She tries not to have only one theme in her paintings, because she thinks that “humans are versatile.” She prefers watercolor and mixed media watercolor over oil color, because of the feel and impression that one gets from the motifs. For her more conventional media works, she has used hemp, Japanese paper, glia, colors for Japanese traditional paintings, and paper clay, etc.
She placed 3rd among 940 applicants in the popularity vote of "GEISAI," an art event sponsored by Takashi Murakami. She was also selected for the competition, "Tokyo Wonder Wall."
