Born in China, raised in Japan and educated in Thailand, London and the US, Ayumi Takahashi (@r_you_me) calls her work “borderless.” Her portraits are inspired by women she sees in fashion blogs and on the streets of Portland, Oregon, where she lives. Their style is suggestive of Alex Katz’s paintings or Matisse’s collages, but she also thinks of her brightly colored creations as having a mission: “There are a lot of horrible things happening in the world, but I’d rather focus on the joyful way of looking at life — because there’s the same amount of suffering as happiness. Which do you want to scale up?” That same playful aesthetic translates to the textiles and jewelry she started making in college and plans to start selling next year under her brand, Are You Me. Ayumi says the name grew organically out of having to solve the first problem she encountered when she moved to the US: “I don’t have an English name. It’s how I tell people to pronounce my name: Ayumi, R-U-Me.”
