CHIKAKO OKADA - Infanta

Chikako Okada - on-line exclusive expo. 

July 29 - August 31

Chikako Okada’s drawings bridge traditional realism with magical realism and surrealism. The artist uniquely addresses questions of the human condition through her meticulously detailed, and patterned works. Mesmerizing and rich in symbolism, the drawings reference feminine power, vulnerability, sadness, longing, and desire. Okada's images often feature young women mysteriously posed, with their circumstances left to the viewer's interpretation. The artist is inspired by the paintings of European masters, Mexico's Frida Kahlo, and the American impressionists. Educated in Japan and the United States, at San Francisco's Art Institute, Chikako Okada has exhibited internationally for over 30 years. Her paintings and drawings are collected worldwide. A selection of work will be on view in the gallery.
