About the Item
Michele Kishita's abstract landscape paintings on "shou sugi-ban" (burnt timber) pine wood panels address the current state of deforestation and the opposing concepts of resilience and devastation. While our forests and natural spaces continue to recede due to industry and urban sprawl, the more catastrophic losses are occurring in the rainforest where swaths the size of forty football fields disappear each minute. Suggestions of landscape painted onto the burnt surfaces depict a memory of what was while at the same time highlighting what remains and can still be salvaged. It is a reminder of the persistence and vitality of nature and our role in choosing its success or failure, which ultimately determines our own.
Stylistically, Kishita’s work is deeply influenced by the strong lines and compressed space of Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints, particularly the landscapes and natural world imagery of Hiroshige and Hokusai. In addition to creating her own work, Kishita is a Japanese print consultant who authenticates, translates, and appraises woodblock prints.
Kishita received her MFA and BFA degrees from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA. She has held artist residencies in Iceland, Russia, and New Mexico, and her work has been featured in exhibitions across the US, in Russia, and in the United Arab Emirates. Her work can be found in the permanent collections of Toyota, Kaiser Permanente, Park Towne Place, Temple University, Drexel University, Texas Tech University, the University of the Arts. Kishita maintains a studio in Philadelphia, PA.
This painting was exhibited in "Absent Futures" (solo exhibition), Central Tattoo Gallery, Philadelphia, PA 2/2020. It is signed, dated, and titled on the back.
