Takako Ishii

“Each tone of blue invites to listen, to indulge in her penetrating spirituality. Takako expands the sensory perception to understand the nature of silence.” Luca Venni

Takako is rooted in Japanese culture.

Clearing my thought just listen carefully to my surroundings Nature, following the Master of Japanese paintings, consciousness flows out of my body and the surrounding energy flows into my body, connect to the universe. Then I start to drip water on my specific canvas in the way of staying on figurative. So the my paintings are registration of a cosmic moment I caught.

I use much water to move pigment on my field of canvas also I give big action to the canvas.
I get inspiration directly by nature or mondane.

I respect the work of many different artists; Burri, Eliasson, Flavin, Haraguchi, Holt, Lenon, Monet, Richter, Sekine, Turner, Turrell, and others too.

Takako’s works are collected in Turner Color Ink. in Osaka. Private collectors in Australia, Germany, Italy, Japan, Dubai, Washington, San Francisco, N.Y and more.
