YORIKO TAKABATAKE
b. 1982, JapanBorn in Fukuoka, lives and works in Tokyo. Graduated from PhD, oil painting, Tokyo University of the Arts in 2016.
She creates her painting as if she a produced canvas itself by dripping and layering oil paints like threads. At times, she actively includes chance through her dialectic approach, which embodies ‘construction, destruction and reconstruction’ by blowing wet paints off the canvas.
