YOKO EMI artworks

This is Japanese Artist YOKO EMI’s official website, contains introduction of artworks and exhibitions.

In keeping with the phrase, “Sho and paintings are fundamentally the same,” the origin of characters lies in pictography, and both sho and painting are considered to share the same roots.
I give full play to my thoughts about the origin of characters and their changes and development over the course of human evolution and history, and I produce my works by sublimating the images I receive from these characters (including kanji and ancient scripts) into my creations. In addition, I pursue stereoscopic lines with the glossy look and the calm and mysterious beauty of flowing marks formed by blurs of pale sumi ink.
