Yoko Ogata | Guardian lavender (ghost), 2023
Monotype
Media Dimensions: 43 x 51 cm
Image Dimensions: 35 x 43 cm
Unique Work
Framed only
Yoko Ogata’s prints celebrate the beauty of flowers and plant life. Living in central Tokyo, her immediate surrounds are largely void of nature and her practice acts as a compensation for this absence. Using flowers as a source of inspiration, Ogata freezes one moment within the flurry of life, forever capturing the flicker of ephemeral beauty within one small piece of nature and share the moment with her audiences. Monotype allows Ogata to combine a free and spontaneous painting technique with the unpredictability of the printmaking process. As well as making prints with bright hues and strong contrasts, her practice includes the production of “ghost prints” which are soft and poetic. By displaying these differently constructed prints alongside each other, Ogata creates a duality of strength and subtlety. With photographs of renowned Dutch gardener Piet Oudolf’s work as recent subject matter, she selects a small part of the images as a starting point, painting out from there to create a new “garden”.
