OKOKUME



OKOKUME

Spain | B. 1985

Okokume, also known as Laura Mas Hernandez, is best known for her iconic character Cosmic Girl. The pink-haired spirit with turquoise skin is the universe’s messenger to emphasize the importance to protect the environment. She travels in space and tends to the planets in need and restores them to their former glory.

Her Lowbrow inspired style of creating reflects the influence of Japanese manga, American cartoons and street culture. Her gleeful and colorful works transport the audience into the universe of Cosmic Girl and her companions, spreading positive messages they believe in. Okokume’s cheerful and positive style is met with much popularity, making her one of the fastest growing contemporary artists.

Okokume was born in 1985 in Barcelona. She graduated from the renowned Llotja Advanced School of Art and Design in Barcelona. Her works have been widely exhibited in galleries and art fairs around the world, including Hong Kong, Tokyo, Taipei, Seoul, Los Angeles and Berlin, to name but a few. Her biggest solo exhibition to date was held in 2021 at the JPS Art Gallery in Hong Kong. Recent auctions have achieved numerous satisfying records in 2020. Her works are most recently featured in Art Central 2021.

 

Okokume，又名Laura Mas Hernandez。代表作是Cosmic Girl系列。Cosmic Girl是一位擁有著粉紅色長髮和祖母綠色肌膚的小精靈，負責為宇宙在星際傳遞愛護環境的訊息，並幫助荒蕪的星球回復生機。

她的作品受日本漫畫、美國卡通和街頭文化影響，有著低眉藝術風格。她筆下的Cosmic Girl和同伴們色彩繽紛，活潑開朗，充滿正能量，因此作品大受歡迎，使她成為發展得最快的當代藝術家之一。

Okokume生於一九八五年巴塞隆拿，並從著名的西班牙藝術學校Llotja Advanced School of Art and Design畢業，現與伴侶居於巴塞隆拿的工作室。她的作品曾在世界各地展出，包括香港、東京、台北、首爾、洛杉磯和柏林，近年來，Okokume的作品亦於拍賣市場上獲得理想的成績，並可於二零二一年「Art Central」藝術展覽會找到藝術家作品的蹤影。
