Isao Ikegami - Kei

Kei (Joyful), 1992

Silkscreen  
22 x 19 in

Description: The dawn of a new day brings Joy to the heart..an beautiful image evocative of a receding horizon at daybreak. Ikegami is a third-generation native of Tokyo. Until 1980 he was a graphic designer. On the side he tried Oil painting, but not until he discovered silkscreen printmaking did he feel at home. His abstracted imagery uses slick blacks with gradations of gray with highlights of brilliant red and a celestial shade of blue. He says of his work: "I want to create a moment in life."
