Rie Osogoe

Working in a vibrant style that incorporates bright colors with an energetic yet balanced visual rhythm, Rie Osogoe makes a brilliant foray into the exploration of space, dimension, and depth. Working with mixed media and acrylic paints, Osogoe’s works are inspired by the delightful randomness of accidentally layered colored papers and incorporate an unusual and intriguing assortment of geometric shapes, which she applies to the canvas in a Technicolor collage. Rich with vitality, Osogoe’s works speak not only to the fascinating possibilities held by shape and hue, but relate directly to the human body and spirit, often incorporating the printed word or abstracted pieces of the human figure. Although Osogoe’s works are indeed complex and multifaceted, they join together to produce a beautiful visual harmony that harkens back to the Japanese tradition of woodblock prints, or ukiyo-e.

Rie Osogoe lives and works in Japan and holds a Master of Fine Arts in painting.
