Barbara Takenaga: New Monotypes

We are pleased to announce the publication of a new series of Untitled hand-colored monotypes by Barbara Takenaga.

Untitled XUntitled XI

The artist describes this series as follows: “Making these monotypes was a wonderful new experience for me. They combine a painterly, abstract background with a graphic structure of hard edged, flat forms. Those dark shapes can be read as either positive/foreground space (body silhouettes or curtains) or as negative space that frames a central image (landscapes, columns, creatures). Similarly, the white lines and dots can be viewed as stylized rain, snow, springs and fountains or beaded curtains. .”

“Untitled X” is a hand-colored monotype, 22 x 26″. “Untitled XI” is a hand-colored monotype, 26 x 22″. Each print costs $4,000 plus packing and shipping.
