Contemporary artist working in an abstract manner. Watanabe deeply explores the role of color in conveying the essence of the world and its perception.


One of Watanabe's concepts is "representing the moment when incompatible things meet as a beautiful state of painting." “The conflict of different things happens continually in life. Rather than seeing it as a trap or inconsistency, I want to make it the most interactive and active moment for each other to shine,” I use sensory contrasts as motif, and once again create spatial depth. I want to use forms that lie between abstraction and figuration to expand free imagination of viewers.

Provenance


Literature

"In complex layering of colors, i sometimes see the movement that exists in the everyday lives of people and nature.

Lines appear in and are absorbed by the ambiguous and undifferentiated mass of paint.

Some lines are alive, some are not, and i paint so that the lines can live."


- Naoko Watanabe
