Magic Hour A-009 Painting

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.
