Gallery Commentary
Azusa Takahashi finds the flatness of lithographs interesting. Her final project at Tokyo University of the Arts, a series of birds, was inspired by the memories of the bird-watching trips with her father, in her childhood. For her, the beautiful forms and unique colors of birds are a wonderful existence that cannot be surpassed by anything else. When she captures this existence in her hand, the process of printmaking seems to create a blank space and maintain a good distance between the subject and the artist. Sometimes interspersed with personal episodes, the series is composed like a unique picture book, and is a joy to collect.
