Biografia
The UK based artist Junko O'Neill gained her MA and BA from Winchester School of Art, where she was given the Stephen Heffer Memorial Award in 2008. Born in Tokyo, she draws her inspiration from the Japanese spatial and temporal concept of 'Ma', with space considered to be fundamentally void. Junko was shortlisted for the Celeste Prize 2011 and Kudos International 2013. Her work 'The Intervals' that she created for Winchester Cathedral as a part of Winchester’s biennial art festival, 10 Days, in 2013, was displayed for an extended period at the cathedral's special request. She has exhibited widely in the UK and abroad, including a solo show, Fragments of Time at GV Art, London, Berlin and Florence. She also co-curated Space Unfolding, a group exhibition at Espacio Gallery in Shoreditch. Her second solo show in London is scheduled at the Coningsby Gallery from 17 to 22 November 2014. Junko now lives in Winchester and a resident artist of the Sorting Office studios in Eastleigh, Hampshire.
