Aiko Nakagawa (born 1975), known as Lady Aiko or AIKO, is a Japanese street artist based in Brooklyn, New York.[1] She is known for her ability to combine western art movements and eastern technical, artistic skills, as well as for her large-scale works installed in cities including Rome, Italy, Shanghai, China and Brooklyn, New York.[2]
Aiko's work is inspired by 18th-century Japanese woodblock printing and has been described as "joyfully, subversively feminine."[1] Her artwork on canvas uses a bricolage technique, incorporating spray paint, stenciling, brushwork, collage, and serigraphs.[3] She is inspired by New York neighborhoods and advertising, drawing from imagery from Chinatown and Times Square in the form of old signs, billboards, and neon signs.[4] Aiko is heavily inspired by her Japanese identity, and experiences as a Japanese woman.[5][6] Through her graffiti and street art, she gives visibility and representation to women and girls, as well as addressing gender inequality and other issues they may face in the world.[6][1] Aiko enjoys creating art that is beautiful, full of love, and can be shared with anyone.[2] The imagery in her work is often linked to romance, sexuality, and promiscuity while also appreciating and praising the female form.[2] Aiko fully embraces the process of creating her work, and thrives off of the freedom, spontaneity, and challenges that come with using the street as your canvas and gallery space. The focus on process is seen in her work through the prominent layering of colors and stenciled shapes, reminiscent of screen printing or wood block prints that come together to create her large female figures.
