TOEKO TATSUNO |
also began to make screen prints.
From the 1980s, with oil painting the main focus, Tatsuno pushed her way forward with large scale canvases which, with their very strong colours and forms, were full of a tremendous vitality. This feeling was evident in her one person exhibition at the National Museum of Modern Art and the "Japanese Contemporary Art 1985-1995" exhibition held at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, among others.
However, in recent years, her work while possessing that strength of her previous paintings also holds a softer form concealed inside. There appears what seems to be another figure of Tatsuno as she repeats over and over again these calm thoughts.
Tatsuno made her first prints with Edition Works in 1992. The collaboration then continued from 1993~1997 and then again in 2001.
