"Playing the piano since a young age, and engaging in experimental performances featuring contemporary music in parallel to studying musical composition at university, BUNYA Yukari (1985-) is an artist whose works have centered on music and physical expression. Bunya describes her line drawings as deriving from the small personal drawings that she had continued to produce along with her musical compositions during her student days. While going onto attend graduate school at an art university and focusing on drawing as the core element of her practice, the swift and speedy lines within her work can be attributed to her vast experience of capturing and visualizing invisible sounds through musical scores - a skill she had essentially acquired through her studies in composition. Many works have been produced with a thin stationery pen that dries in a short amount of time so as not to detract from the drawing speed. Bunya’s line drawings had initially been dominated by organic and automatic curvatures reminiscent of plants. Developing an interest in architectural books and drawings however, by 2009 she had shifted to a style of work that present unique spaces conceived through drawing straight lines of different thickness across picture planes covered in arrays of improvisational lines to create various perspectives and sections within the image. From notation lines on a musical score that capture and visualize sound, to organic lines drawn automatically, firm straight lines like those used in diagrams that serve to divide the picture plane, and lines so subtly faint like dots -as we viewers follow these various lines across the image, we find ourselves enticed by the numerous calls, responses, overlaps, and expansions that manifest like elements of a musical session. Bunya’s works in which various independent lines intermingle in a regulated and improvisational manner, as a reflection of the performative process itself, communicates to viewers the breadth and depth present within the act of drawing, as well as the appeal of “lines” across multiple genres."
