Iku Nagai
'Large Abstract', Exhibited at Tokyo Museum Of Fine Arts, Japanese Woman Artist

Circa 1980

About the Item

Signed lower right, "Nagai" for Ikuko K. Nagai (Japanese-American, born 1932) and painted circa 1980. Previously with: Vorpal Gallery, San Francisco paper dimensions: 33.5 x 45 inches. Iku Nagai first studied at the Sojusha School of Art in Tokyo, Japan and subsequently received her MFA from San Jose State University, becoming a U.S. citizen in 1958. The effect of this fusion of cultures and styles is strongly evidenced in her work by both her foreground patterning and her playfulness with spatial relationships. Arranging dynamic strokes of line, varying sizes of shapes and splashing opposite colors next to one another creates equal balance of elements in her work. The recipient of numerous prizes, medals and juried awards, Iku Nagai has exhibited both in the United States and internationally with success. Selected major group exhibitions include the Sozo Art Exhibition at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, the Triton Museum of Art and the Gorman Museum at the University of California, Davis among numerous others.
