Bio

Skye Taniai was born in Yamaguchi, the westernmost prefecture of the main island of Japan. She spent the first half of her life there. In 2016 she received a BFA in painting from University of Missouri. Her work can be described as looking at current events that are happening in Japan through the use of technology (social media, online news, online articles) and collaging them in a sophisticated way. Since she does not go back to Japan often at this point in time, technology has become her main mode of connecting to her own country.

For more than 155 years, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) has been a leader in educating the world’s most influential artists, designers, and scholars. Located in downtown Chicago with a fine arts graduate program ranked number two in the nation by U.S. News and World Report, SAIC provides an interdisciplinary approach to art and design as well as world-class resources, including the Art Institute of Chicago museum, on-campus galleries, and state-of-the-art facilities. SAIC’s undergraduate, graduate, and post-baccalaureate students have the freedom to take risks and create the bold ideas that transform Chicago and the world, and adults, teens, and kids in our Continuing Studies classes have the opportunity to explore their creative sides, build portfolios, and advance their skills. Notable alumni and faculty include Georgia O’Keeffe, Nick Cave, David Sedaris, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Cynthia Rowley, Michelle Grabner, Richard Hunt, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, and Jeff Koons.
