Audrey Kawasaki On Board
Written by I.Heart.Art on January 3, 2008 – 2:46 am -
Love her work. Been feeding off her beautiful work for a long time now.
Taken off Ms. Audrey’s website. Her bio.
The themes in Audrey Kawasaki’s work are contradictions within themselves. Her work is both innocent and erotic. Each subject is attractive yet disturbing. Audrey’s precise technical style is at once influenced by both manga comics and Art Nouveau. Her sharp graphic imagery is combined with the natural grain of the wood panels she paints on, bringing an unexpected warmth to enigmatic subject matter.
The figures she paints are seductive and contain an air of melancholy. They exist in their own sensually esoteric realm, yet at the same time present a sense of accessibility that draws the observer to them. These mysterious young women captivate with the direct stare of their bedroom eyes.
She has been rocking hard at numerous art shows and it seems she is getting the recognition she deserved. I would be hard pressed if I was asked to pick out my favorite piece. Her artwork was chosen by Gelaskins (the people who makes protective covers for your beloved iPods)
Check out Aud’s online journal to see what she has been up to recently. You might find something like this.
