HIROKO YAMAJI – CLOUD

Posted on 2016-10-24

Through a process of effectively trimming away at common landscapes and motifs and then restructuring them in a rhythmical fashion, Yamaji creates striking imagery that leave viewers with a lasting impression. Her abstract paintings, produced through the coinciding of a macroscopic field of view with a microscopic point of view, also amass together as a reservoir of dialogue that takes place between Yamaji and her repeated subject matter. At first glance, Yamaji’s works appear abstract, yet the method of their execution is rather realistic. Within the course of producing her works, Yamaji above all places emphasis on a close and meticulous observation of the subject, and through such means attempts to convey upon the canvas, various aspects from naturally evoked emotions, emerging forms, resonant melodies, and scents that drift forth along the breeze.
