Yoshino Masui
Yoshino Masui’s oeuvre comprises delicate and intricately detailed watercolors that are depicted through applying a base coat of watercolor, which is then later revisited and developed with numerous layers of paint. Within such works, a unique sense of texture is created by the unexpected effect caused by blurs and smudges of the paints, in combination with the intentional and elaborately painted lines. Animals including cats, horses, and birds, which Masui has continued to observe as presences familiar to her, overlap with the backdrop of the works and are painted in a manner reminiscent of mythical creatures. For this exhibition, she has created new works in which horses are simply positioned and depicted within the space of the picture plane. As could be interpreted from the title “When Their Presence is Soon to be Heard,” perhaps the works serve to indicate a new beginning, or something within the artist that is about to be born.
