About The ArtistBorn 1962, Osaka, Japan.
Yuriko Lochan is a Japanese artist living in India since 1987 and follows her creative pursuits in both countries. She has graduated and holds a masters degree in painting from Kyoto City University of Arts, one of the distinguished fine art institutions of Japan.
She has been holding her solo exhibitions in India as well as in Japan and has participated in a large number of group shows in India, besides attending artist camps held both in India as well as abroad. She took part in The 11th Triennale (Lalit Kala Akademi, New Delhi/Chennai) from the Indian artists’ section.
Since 2011, she has been holding a series of demonstrations/workshops and organizing exhibitions of the medium of Suiboku (oriental ink painting) as an expression of the cultural ethos of the East at several institutions and schools in India and Japan.
Her works are enriched by living in two different cultures – the coherence of India; the primal source of human culture and Japan; the refined sensibilities of her origin.
