About the Item

Yookan Westfield Dancing Pears (art about food), 2024 Ink drawing done with pigment liner on Saunders Waterford 300 GSM Cold Press Watercolor paper Signed in ink on the front Unique 8 1/2 × 12 inches Unframed This exquisite, meticulous drawing of three pears took three days of intensive labor by beloved New York based Japanese artist Yookan Westfield to complete. It is one of a series of Dancing Pear ink drawings, with each one being unique, Yookan Westfield was born in Nanao-City, Japan and currently resides in Brooklyn, NY. She earned a BFA from Kanazawa Art University and an MFA from Musashino Art University in Tokyo. She graduated from the New York Studio School, 2007. Westfield received the Dokuritsu Prize in Dokuritsu Exhibition at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Art, Japan in 1997 and 1998. She has held six solo shows at the Ginza Surugadai Gallery, Tokyo since 1984, and she exhibits regularly in New York City. She already had an almost cult-like following in Japan, where she exhibited widely in galleries and museums, before she emigrated to the United States on a genius visa, accorded because of her extraordinary artistic talent. Westfield continues to exhibit regularly in New York and Japan. In 2020, Yookan Westfield was chosen by art critic David Cohen, editor and publisher of Artcritical . com, as one of the winners of the "Pets of the Pandemic" art competition to benefit Best Friends Animal Society. Westfield studied painting at the New York Studio School of Painting & Sculpture under the Dean of the School, renowned painter, Graham Nickson, and she received her MFA from Musashino Art University in Tokyo and her BFA Kanazawa Art University, Japan.
