Artists

Midori Sato
A closet packed with varying colors of clothes; a shoe-rack onto which high-heels are carefully arranged; vivid and brilliant flowers. Midori Sato’s paintings like jewelry boxes filled with girls’ aspirations. The audacious and nimble touch of her brushstrokes, seemingly absorbed within the picture plane as we look, dissolves the contours of her motifs. Within a painting that shares both a sense of concrete embodiment and one of abstraction, one we can perceive the strong sense of charm exuded by the vibrant colors and excellently crafted compositions.

Regarding this exhibition, the artist remarks: I have begun to really think from my heart, how truly wonderful flowers and plants are. The each of tiny tiny lilac flower that I encountered abroad - A violet with a charming hue. A rose so beautiful it gives me goosebumps. A camellia with a radiance like that of corsage, blooming magnificently. A strange plants with airy puffs. And then a green which expands in complex ways, overflowing with life-force. The more I commune with nature, more I realize that in fact, everything that has ever captivated me up until now has its roots in nature. Aesthetic gods are redolent within nature, as are the most beautiful colors and forms - this I felt with my whole self.
