Yuko Takayama "Rain is Polka-dotted, Wind is Striped"
This event has ended.
At Thorn Tree Gallery
Media: Painting
Takayama has consistently produced work that features places she personally feels to be cozy or sensuous. Her work features rolling plains, lofty mountains and other landscapes. In this "Rain is Polka-dotted, Wind is Striped" exhibition, she continues this theme, but focuses more on the idea of "home", with its chatter of familiar voices and the warmth of its people, rendered in a way that feels unspecific to any country, and yet somehow familiar.

高山はこれまでの作品を通して、一貫して自らの感じる「気持ちのよい場所」を描き続けてきました。たびたび画面に登場する、広がる平野やそびえる山々は彼女が思い描いたまだ見ぬ理想の風景です。今回の『雨は水玉、風はストライプ』では、そのテーマを引き続き抱えながら、「家」を中心とした風景を描くことに試みました。日常が繰り広げられる「家」という場所。たとえ人物が登場しなくとも、人の温度や生活のざわめきを伝えるこのモチーフを中心とすることで、高山の描く無国籍の風景が何故か身近に感じられるから不思議です。展示のために書き下ろした、新作13点をどうぞごゆっくりお楽しみ下さい。(ソーン・ツリー ギャラリー)
