About The Artwork
For the past few years, I have been painting on the theme of "omagadoki". This is an old word for "evening. It is the time when the sun goes down and it gets dark, and you might meet a "demon". I think it must have been more mysterious in the days when there were no electric lights, and I came across this word when I was a teenager and came to love this time of the day when the sun was setting. The familiar scenery of the city changes just a little. You may be able to see what you cannot see. For me, "demon" is not "demon" but "demon" of "magic. It is a moment filled with the feeling that something extraordinary is about to happen, and I am quietly excited in the magical light and shade. I have always painted with the thought, "I want to see what I cannot see. The moment when unexpected shapes and colors appear on the screen leads to the moment when the usual buildings, streets, and shadows of people seem somehow to be something extraordinary. For a long time, I have been painting abstract paintings based on a formalist approach to what painting is. I am reminded that I have been searching for such a moment for a long time. I would like to follow both the figurative and abstract paths as different routes to a single summit. My painting materials are mainly acrylic paints, but I also use "iwa-enogu" (rock paints), which are made from natural minerals and have been used in Japan since ancient times.

Born in Tokyo and live in Tokyo BFA Tama Art University MFA Tama Art University Graduate School, Japanese painting major Chisato Yamada is a painter with 40 years of experience. What she has been pursuing for a long time is to see the invisible. In seeing, in experiencing, in thinking, in feeling, in history, in society, she has pursued an expression that can be seen only through painting. The style of most of her work is abstract, but she also has a style of painting concrete objects. She considers both abstract and figurative to be different routes to the same summit. She is at the same time very interested and attracted to the material of painting itself. She majored in Japanese painting at art college and uses a primitive painting medium called "iwa-enogu," which is made from minerals and other materials that have been used in Japan for centuries. She also uses acrylic paints for their robustness. She also uses a variety of painting materials. Canvas, Japanese paper, and non-painting materials such as polyester fabrics are often used in her work. In her 40 years of painting, she has created a diverse collection. Saatchi Art is pleased to present five of these collections. Please visit the Collections page. "https://www.chisato-yamada.com" instagram:@chisatoyamadart
