| Description |
Born in Tokyo but currently based in Paris, Makiko Tanaka portrays people, animals, and objects as a dynamic and imaginative motif in her works, often with hints of French culture. Inspired by her observations in the city, her expressive body of work includes pencil, pastel, oil, sculpture, and more. Recognised especially for her bold painting style, in recent years Tanaka has also produced humorous and charming works with a lighter touch in mediums such as watercolour. ‘Vu Vu’ is the artist’s second book, and showcases her wide-ranging and whimsical oeuvre, including drawings, watercolours, and playful ceramic figurines. |
