Frida Kato
Frida Kato (b. 1990 in Tokyo, Japan)
uses arched lines in her impasto paintings, which are reminiscent of the excessive decor of the Baroque. Numerous layers of color create relief-like shapes surfaces and leave behind sculptural canvases.
„I am exploring the fluctuation of the boundary between two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects by mixing the perspective of following the image as a painting and the perspective of following the shape and unevenness as a three-dimensional object in my works. I treat oil paint as an extension of a material like clay rather than as a drawing material, and I work with a strong awareness of its aspect as a sculpture. I draw fragments of images and motifs that come to mind, which are layered and appear on the canvas as new forms and thicknesses. The arched strokes are inspired by baroque architecture and furniture.“
