We introduce two new works by Satomi Tanji that reflect the impressions of different lands. “CHAO PHRAYA,” inspired by Thailand’s Chao Phraya River, and “Sicily,” which evokes the landscapes of Sicily. Through vivid colors layered with bleeds, dry brush effects, and shimmering gold, she abstractly captures the atmosphere and light of each location. Please enjoy these two landscapes created through color and texture.
“CHAO PHRAYA”
Vivid turquoise blue boldly meets soft beige and gray, while bleeds and dry brush effects create rich expression along the boundaries. Touches of gold scattered throughout add a light shimmer, creating an expansive piece reminiscent of a riverside.
“SICILY”
Vivid yellow blends and spreads with gray and beige, while layered scraped textures and bleeds create a rich expression. Shimmering gold accents floating throughout add a radiant touch that evokes bright light, creating a piece where boldness and delicacy coexist beautifully.
After graduating from university, she worked as a flight attendant for a foreign airline before beginning her career as an artist after giving birth. She is active both in Japan and abroad, having held her first solo exhibition overseas in Taiwan in 2021. She has released many works that evoke light, primarily abstract paintings using alcohol ink and acrylics, with gold leaf used as an accent.
