Nana Funo
The paintings of Nana Funo symbolically represent graceful animals, plants, figures and letters that cover the whole pictorial space, regardless of its size. The repeated layers - created using various techniques such as acrylic paint, dyes, and masking, possess “a spatial complexity that cannot be captured through such mere expressions as those of floating, overlapping, or depth.”(Mitsue Nagaya, “Voca 2009: The Vision of Contemporary Art”). Along with her painting works, she also draws by pen in a notebook for 3 to 5 hours a day. The technique and unique textures she brings about by continuously moving her hands across the pictorial plane start to function as an independent language, and it is as if the artist gazes in concentration at the state of the world, while keeping it at a certain distance from herself and her works. The exhibition features paintings as well as almost 50 drawings drawn with charcoal that are to be displayed for the first time as an exhibition.
