Yuko Nishikawa creates a fantastical environment with her colorful, textural lively forms. With a hands-on, exploratory approach, she makes paintings, lighting, mobiles and sculptures using a variety of mediums. Her work reflects her accumulative experiences in architecture, restoration, interior and furniture design, crafts and engineering.

Nishikawa grew up in a small seaside town just south of Tokyo, Japan and currently resides in New York. She works out of her studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, which she built out with friends utilizing demolished materials found in the building. She named this space Forest: a place where things grow and things decay to nourish new lives, and where people wonder and discover something new.
