About Yori Hatakeyama

My current project called "OEDIPUS HEX - World of despair". In this series of egg tempera paintings I bring attention to the shocking surreality of 'pre-determined fate' by way of Sophocles' Greek tragedy "Oedipus Rex" + 80's special make up effects of "Splatter horror movie" such as 'Evil Dead', 'Demons', 'Day of The Dead' etc. When we follow Oedipus' journey, from beginning to end, we become overwhelmed by the killing feeling of despair - eternal despair. My objective in this work is to emphasize the haunting atmosphere of pre-calculated doom and death. To unknowingly live a life which has been controlled by exterior forces and cannot be changed. That is FATE.

Education:

Yori was born in Chiba, Japan. She holds a B.A. in Oil Painting from the prestigious Musashino Art University, Tokyo. She went on to study at The Art Students League of New York upon winning a Scholarship Program with concentration in Egg Tempera, Oil Painting and Figure Drawing. While still in NYC, she attended Kremer Pigments and the National Academy's Fresco Workshops.
Yori now lives and works between New York City and Los Angeles, and features several works in private collections.
