Hiromi Tanaka
Hiromi Tanaka completed her undergraduate studies at Joshibi University of Art and Design in 2002, later graduating from the university’s postgraduate school in 2004. She was selected to participate in the VOCA (Vision of Contemporary Art) exhibition in 2009 and has continued to produce work as a mid-career artist.
In Tanaka’s works, lines in muted yellow hues are painted on canvases that remain predominantly white. While looking at the works, viewers will notice that the yellow lines actually depict the ridge lines of mountains. Upon closer viewing, however, overlapping colors underlying the white (snow) layer start to emerge. Tanaka applies many different layers of color before covering them with white paint, allowing her to cut back through the paint in order for the vivid yet faint colors to be revealed. As a climbing and trekking enthusiast, Tanaka doesn’t simply imagine these landscapes, but also records them with her own body.
