おおはしこうじ / Koji Ohashi

大阪府池田市生まれ。子供の頃から絵が好きで、多くのコンクールで入賞。10代半ばの4年間をＮＹ（ニューヨーク）で暮らしたことで、日本人離れしたポップな色彩感覚を身につける。京大卒業後、大手広告代理店で勤務。しばらく絵から遠ざかるが、2017年、世界的シャドーボックス作家である母・大橋禾苗からの依頼で原画を描き始め、絵心が復活。その絵には、次男をモデルにした【熱血・目ヂカラ３歳児ルキぼん】や、ＮＹ時代から同居しているクマのぬいぐるみをモデルにした【マンハッタン王子】などのキャラクター、個性的な龍や和のモチーフが登場し、カラフルでビビッドな色面分割、大胆な構図、物語性のある描き込みによって、唯一無二の世界を創造。その原画に、母の超絶技巧によって新たに生命を吹き込んだ、世界でも類を見ない親子コラボ・シャドーボックスは、国内のみならず、モナコ公国でも大評判となる。2024年に第二の故郷ＮＹで個展を開き、好評のあまり会期が延長。ＮＹ初上陸の無名の作家としては前例のない成功を収めた。
「誰が見ても楽しく幸せになれるアート」を、世界中の人々に届けるのが夢。尊敬する絵師は葛飾北斎。好きなもの：桃と猫。

Born in Ikeda City, Osaka, he has loved drawing since childhood and has won numerous art competitions. During his four years living in New York in his mid-teens, he developed a vibrant sense of color that is quite distinct from typical Japanese styles. After graduating from Kyoto University, he worked at a major advertising agency. Although he distanced himself from art for a while, in 2017, he began creating original illustrations at the request of his mother, Kanae Ohashi, a world-renowned shadow box artist, and his passion for art was rekindled.

His artwork features unique characters, including "Ruki-Bon," a passionate 3-year-old modeled after his second son, and "Prince Manhattan", a teddy bear that has been with him since his time in New York. His work also incorporates distinctive dragons and traditional Japanese motifs, brought to life with bold color divisions, vivid compositions, and intricate storytelling, creating a truly unique world.

These original illustrations, enhanced by his mother’s exceptional shadow box techniques, form a rare mother-son collaboration that breathes new life into the art. Their work has received widespread acclaim, not only in Japan but also in Monaco. In 2024, he held a solo exhibition in New York, his second home, which was so well received that the exhibition period was extended. As an unknown artist debuting in New York, this level of success was unprecedented.

His dream is to bring "art that brings joy and happiness to everyone" to people all over the world. He greatly admires the works of Katsushika Hokusai. His favorite things: peaches and cats.
