出生日本，现居伦敦的女性艺术家Nahoko Kojima赢得了今年的当代艺术奖，是艺术界的新星。她可以使用一张和纸（日本传统纸张）剪出一只3*3米等真大小的北极熊。用悬挂的方式让纸雕立体。这种艺术用现代的方式将传统的剪纸工艺表达，为艺术灵魂注入了鲜活的东方魅力。

Solo & Kojima are proud to start the year 2013 with a massive victory. Nahoko Kojima has won the prestigious Contemporary Art Award, the Jerwood Makers Open 2013. She is part of a select group of the five best contemporary artists in the UK today. The award “recognises rising stars in the world of applied arts.” and the judging panel included Edward Barber, David Falkner and Bonnie Kemske.

The new piece to be unveiled at the Jerwood Makers Open 2013 is entitled, Byaku, a Japanese word meaning White in English. It shall depict a life size swimming Polar Bear, hand cut using only one sheet of white Japanese Washi Paper and suspended as a free hanging sculpture.

Nahoko Kojima has been commissioned to create her new sculptural papercut piece following the hugely successful Cloud Leopard which was unveiled at Saatchi Collect earlier this May and is now on a touring exhibition in Europe in partnership with Arte&Arte, Italy.

The unique thing about Nahoko’s work is that it is very contemporary and never lingers on traditional motifs commonly found in other Paper Cut folk art. She is also doing this professionally and leading Paper Cut Sculpture in Europe, with the goal of establishing it as an Art Form in the West and injecting a contemporary fresh life into it in the East.
