on Shikishi rice paper board

Yuriko has a vision . Of a world of sensitive landscapes . Of waters and skies in meditative forms . Of trees and flowers as sublime images .

Yuriko is a sensitive landscapist .Using the traditional Japanese genre , she mixes it with her Indian experiences . Her encounters of nature , in all its overwhelming beauty are absorbed , mulled over and turned over into a sublime VISION. Her stylised ouvre of painting has a meditative quality . Even the use of gold is far from a kitschy excess, and in fact adds dignity to the mood . Ingenuous use of gold borders , sophisticated colours on subtly textured Japanese Shikishi paper create these poetic landscapes .

Those familiar with Shantiniketan artists, will find a stylistic similarity in Yuriko's work .The Japanese calligraphic brushworks that inspired the Shantiniketan masters , were also a source of inspiration to Yuriko .Her free flowing brushwork in the calligraphic drawings show a supple strength .

Spiritual concerns are primarily manifest Yurio's work . And she uses the materiality of paper and her medium to good effect . Although her work is traditional in temperament , she adds a note of the contemporary in the way she introduces subtle dissonances in forms .

 Come, share Yuriko's VISION .
