1982年出生于日本冈山县。 2006年毕业于英国温布顿艺术学院，现工作和居住于日本东京。 平子雄一擅长绘画与雕塑，其作品向来以探讨人类与自然的共存共生为题材，而每幅绘画都是艺术家对于自然的「提问」。 平子雄一以油画形式绘出最为纯粹的作品，不但一笔一画形塑出年轮主题，详细描述了森林和自然在日本历史和宗教方面的意义，即相信万物皆有灵。 作品色彩鲜艳、构图精巧，线条与用色不拘小节，刻划了丰富的元素与细节，如精致搭设的舞台剧场景般。 近年活跃于国际艺术圈，于丹麦、荷兰、法国、美国和新加坡等地皆发表过作品。
平子雄一「植物系列」作品的出发点始于他在英国留学时的生活经验。 在伦敦当地十分盛行人造庭园的风气，从公园、博物馆、美术馆、住家阳台等皆有着经由人工精心整治过的绿地植栽。 平子有感于当地都市人对于这些「人造自然环境」的喜爱，与自己出生成长于布满林木和山丘「天然自然环境」的日本冈山县相比，他将这两个现象融合于作品中 。 繁盛茂密的树丛叶片、张狂弯曲的树干枝节、五颜六色的花朵线条，充分展现天然自然环境的全貌。 而点缀其中的则是精致的人工造物，如书本、花瓶、盆栽、乐器、木船等物件，画面像是森林的自然景色细看则又如人工庭院般的造景。 平子将「天然」与「人工」两个元素融于作品内，借此重新检视现代都市人与植物关系之间的模糊地带。
Born in Okayama Prefecture, Japan in 1982. He graduated from the Wimbledon College of Art, UK in 2006. He currently works and lives in Tokyo, Japan. Yuichi's art practice is centered on the coexistence of humans and nature with each painting posed as a "question" that the artist asks about nature. Yuichi's purest works, painted in oil, depicts this theme upon an annual ring which details the significance of the forest and nature in Japanese history and religion, namely the belief that all things are spiritual. The works are brightly colored and delicately composed, with unconventional lines and colors, delineating rich elements and details, as if they were elaborately set up for a stage play. In recent years, he has been active on the international art scene and has held exhibitions in Denmark, The Netherland, France, the USA, and Singapore.
The series of work " Botanical Series" was derived from his experience studying in the UK. In London, artificial gardens are prevalent, from parks, museums and art galleries to home balconies, all of which have been carefully manicured with greenery. Yuichi Hirako was inspired by the love for these "artificial natural environments" by the local city dwellers, as compared to the "nature-made natural environment" of Okayama Prefecture in Japan, where he was born and raised in the woods and hills. He fuses these two phenomena in his works. The dense foliage of the trees, the wildly curved branches of the trunks, and the colorful lines of flowers show the natural environment in its entirety. The delicate man-made objects such as books, vases, potted plants, musical instruments, and wooden boats are embellished within the natural scenery of the forest and the artificial garden-like landscape. Yuichi Hirako combines the elements of "natural" and "artificial" in his works, thus re-examining the blurred relationship between people and plants in the modern city.
