Junko Mizuno 'Flora Delirium' & Mizna Wada 'Yummy Haunts' @ Gallery Nucleus 11/13/2010

[PRESS] Galley Nucleus is excited to once again welcome new works by Japanese artists Junko Mizuno and Mizna Wada. Both known internationally for their Kawaii Noir style and paintings of femme fatale cuties. Opening on November 13, 2010 and running until November 29, 2010... this show is a must attend!

Junko Mizuno is revered in the Gothic Kawaii/Kawaii Noir genre, a combination of all that is humorous and tragic. Juxtaposing childlike cuteness and horror, her demented nymphets are bold, colorful, erotic, morbid, yet at the same time comical. In this most recent body of work, Mizuno explores and plays with organic and decorative elements. Unleashing her nymphet terrors free to run amuck amongst blooming flora in a lush, exploding botanical oasis.

Mizna Wada is a illustrator and designer whose wide-eyed, cute yet creepy lolitas are inspired by the horror comics she read while growing up in Tokyo. Oftentimes, Wada brings her characters to life in the form of darling hand-made plush dolls. Fashioned head to toe, the beautifully adorned, one-of-a-kind and expertly crafted creations are nothing short of charming and an absolute delight.
