Yoriko Takabatake
In Takabatake Yoriko’s paintings, each line of paint is applied to the canvas like a thread that has been squeezed out. This is distinctly different from an action painting, in which, for example, Jackson Pollock casually scattered paint around. It is more akin to making a cloth by attaching a single thread to the loom.
Originally drawn to garment textiles, and possessing a collection of fabric samples, Takabatake was inspired by the idea that a group of individual strings could produce a cloth or “plane.” This interest led to her unique method of painting.
Takabatake’s works evolve out of a plane with the appearance of a textile that has been carefully woven out of paint. At times, they also involve bold actions, such as forcefully striking the canvas before the paint is dry in a way that threatens to dislodge it. This results in a simple, beautiful, and dialectic visual realm in which the use of creation and destruction give rise to something entirely new.
In 2014, Takabatake held a solo exhibition as part of the Project N series, designed to showcase young artists, at Tokyo Opera City Gallery. Subsequently, her art, which had a quiet yet passionate following, quickly grew in popularity, attracting interest not only in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Taipei, New York, and Singapore, but also in Europe.
