In the Artist's Studio: Rieko Otake
8 December 2015
Rieko Otake’s woodcarvings express such motifs s young girls, birds and deer, and even while her work looks at times somewhat delicate and unstable, one senses a unique strength in its universal presence replete with grace. The art critic Toshiaki Minemura has said of Otake’s work that while it “She seems to have dropped her anchor in the mystery of existense, the central issue of sculpture, with a precision that cannot be achieved through ordinary abstract sculpture.”
