Toshi Asai "Sakka Series I "
November 7 - November 30, 2009
Opening reception, Saturday, November 7, 6-8pm
Toshi Asai
Born in Nagoya, Japan, Toshi Asai graduated from University of Washington with a B.S. in Physics and a B.F.A. in Painting in 2003. She currently works and lives in Seattle.
The body of work entitled, "Sakka Series I (Famous Japanese Writers)" features paintings and mixed media work of important and significant modern Japanese writers. These authors shaped Toshi's knowledge of literature in her early years and still hold a special place in her practice and mindset today.
"After Surrealism exhausted all of its possible permutations,
it reemerged in Japan as anime and bounced back elsewhere as a delicate version of Pop with a punk twist." Regina Hackett 8/09
