Toshiko Nishikawa
 
|
Toshiko Nishikawa’s mixed medium artworks are playful abstractions employing pastels and whites, the mood of which represents her worldview. Her works brim with innocence and positivity, instantly disarming the viewer. “I’ve been on a journey,” she states. “A journey in search of eternal beauty.” Indeed, there is a timeless, organic quality to Nishikawa’s art as streaks of white haze flow downward or across muted pastel backgrounds. Nishikawa’s artwork nods to natural phenomena, recalling clouds, snow and water. Done mostly in small to medium sized formats, layers do not intermix but drip and conceal the colors below. Nishikawa’s career started in Japan where she has taught, participated in artist associations, and exhibited widely. In recent years her recognition has spread, receiving press in print and on the airwaves in her native Japan, in addition to being featured in a number of exhibitions and articles around the United States. She lives and works in New York. |
