Taeko Maezawa Japanese, b. 1977
Further images
The child-like entity in the center has clouds forming in the hair part of its head, and rain is falling.
I imagined that the child and each person are like stars, each with its own weather inside, and that the pouring rain is a story imagined by the child.
From the rain of stories, stories are sprouting and flying around.
The crowns are drawn with the idea that each one is special.
The green feathers are also imaginary feathers.
The wooden panel is primed, the kimono is attached to the sides, and the pattern is extended on the screen. Gold foil is used for the crowns.
The raised pearl lines are made of a material in which pearl powder is kneaded into the resin.
Depending on the way the light hits it, the screen will appear to float more.
When drawing up the image, I mainly use acrylic, pencil, pen, ink, and pastel powder, and after completion, I coat the image with a protective material.
