Minako Abe
Minako Abe’s process starts with importing images of landscapes into a computer. Then she twists and skews them arbitrarily. The distorted image projected on canvas is masked by masking tape layer by layer and painted by roller manually. Slightly curled edges formed by chance in a sense during that process bring the surface of her painting homogenized smooth and matte textures. Her landscape paintings thoroughly lose individual names of each location and now present a significant transfiguration with great wind and abundant scattered light based on green and blue. The adapted landscape turns into anonymous scenery so to speak, and it emerges as scenic beauty in front of us in the right meaning. Her landscapes, as being our surroundings, objectify ourselves and make us reaffirm the true nature of our memories.
