Nucleus presents an ambitious collection of new paintings and drawings by the acclaimed artist depicting the strength of Japanese women throughout history and folklore.

Through this new collection, the artist has chosen to visually explore four stories, each with three paintings in addition to drawings. She tells of the curse of Ushi no Koku Mairi, a torment brought upon a victim through a ritual and use of spikes driven through a doll. Mizuno also captures Jigoku Dayu's astonishment of a Zen priest dancing with skeletons and Futakuchi Onna who has a second mouth beneath her head of hair.

Join us for the opening reception to meet the artist in person as she signs copies of her latest releases including two new prints (pictured right).

Also stay tuned for an interview with the artist for an upcoming eposide of the Gallery Nucleus Podcast.
