SHIRO UTAFUSA 歌房史朗

Kurukuru Atama (Curly Hair Boy) is Shiro Utafusa’s iconic character in his paintings. A boy with an afro hairstyle is a portray of the artist’s youthful look, travelling around the world with his art passionately. On the other hand, this character also represents the artist’s compassionate of nature being and surroundings.  

Japanese artist Shiro Utafusa was motivated via the drawing class while he studied the second years of design course. In the third year, he started doodling the character “Curly Hair Boy” in his notebook. After graduating in 2007, he travelled around many countries including Australia, Indonesia, Singapore and Italy. He told his journeys on canvas which became wonderful adventures of the Curly Hair Boy. In his paintings always can see one or several curly hair boys hold sunflowers. A single sunflower expresses the hope. His painting is to share happiness, hopes and love around the world.

《Kurukuru Atama》（卷发男孩）是白歌房的标志性角色，在他的画作中经常出现。一个戴着爆炸头发型的男孩，是艺术家年轻时的形象，充满激情地周游世界，与他的艺术一起。另一方面，这个角色也代表了艺术家对自然和周围环境的关爱。

日本艺术家白歌房是在读设计课程的第二年被绘画课程所激发。在第三年，他开始在笔记本上涂鸦角色“卷发男孩”。2007年毕业后，他游历了许多国家，包括澳大利亚、印度尼西亚、新加坡和意大利。他将自己的旅程呈现在画布上，这些画作成为了卷发男孩的精彩冒险。在他的画作中，总是可以看到一个或几个戴着爆炸头的男孩手持向日葵。单独的向日葵表达着希望。他的画作是为了分享全世界的快乐、希望和爱。
