At Rei Cosmetics, we’re thrilled to continue our collaboration with female Japanese artists for our exclusive Thank You cards. This time, we’re honored to feature a stunning piece titled Congrats, You Tried So Hard by Ayane Kurai, a renowned Japanese artist based in New York City.
For those who may not yet know Ayane, here’s a brief look at her impressive career and artistic journey:
About Ayane Kurai
Ayane Kurai is a celebrated abstract painter whose medium of choice is oil on canvas. Originally from Japan, she has lived and worked in NYC for over 30 years.
Ayane’s art is characterized by bold, vivid colors and textured strokes that reflect the humanity and inspiration she finds in everyday life. Her work has been featured in solo exhibitions across Tokyo, Nagoya, Hyogo, and New York, as well as internationally at Brazil’s Museu de Arte Moderna da Bahia and in numerous group shows. Ayane has received notable accolades, including The Joan Mitchell Foundation Grand Award (1999) and the Art Olympia First-round Winner Award in Tokyo (2015).
Congrats, You Tried So Hard
This vibrant, contemporary piece perfectly embodies Ayane’s signature style. Its rich colors and textures reminded us of the beauty found in our makeup collections. Even more, the title resonated deeply with us as a small business working tirelessly to bring joy and confidence to our customers through beauty. At Rei, we believe in the value of effort to create something positive and more importantly, in celebrating those who give their best in everything they do.
A Special Keepsake for You
We’re thrilled to include Ayane’s artwork on our Thank You cards as a heartfelt token of our appreciation. These cards will be included with all orders while supplies last. Since we only have a limited quantity, they’re truly special keepsakes to treasure.
Looking ahead, we’re excited to spotlight even more talented artists in future collaborations. Until then, we hope you enjoy this beautiful card and feel the passion and artistry it represents.
