Published: January 06 2014 |
Nana Funo's paintings are richly filled with motifs of decorative patterns, animals and plants, figures, landscapes and written characters. They are composed with various techniques, graceful drawings of acrylic, repetitive overlaying of gesso or dye, patterns that come into appearance from masking, and the visual effect that embraces richness in layers arouse a curiosity to explore what is illustrated deep inside the paintings. Textures similar to porcelain, textile or sometimes relief can be observed in the works. According to Funo, it is probably her frequent visit to museums where she looks carefully at historical exhibits and objects that keep her being sensitive to diverse matiere and excellent at representing them on canvas. Various elements and materials applied in the history of art making that reflected the spiritual realms and worldviews in the respective time bring inspirations to Funo. At the same time, her own unique languages and matieres showed in her works depict her original worldview formed by personal moments of her emotional side. Funo states that the feelings she has in daily life stimulate her to draw. She draws down what suddenly comes into her mind on a notebook with the same density as the paintings. Those drawings then become her sources of inspiration and to develop on large canvas.
