About the Item

'He Knows' features the beautiful face of a boy with down syndrome encircled with lace and shrouded in dignified mystery. The small painting is 7 x 5 1/2 inches, framed 8 3/4 x 7 1/4 x 3 1/2 inches. Can hang in a wall or sit on a table or shelf. Condition excellent. Artist signed, titled, dated Verso. Proudly presented by Andra Norris Gallery in Burlingame, CA. Chikako Okada’s autobiographical oil paintings, bridge traditional realism with magical realism and surrealism. The artist uniquely addresses questions of the human condition through her meticulously detailed, and patterned paintings. They are mesmerizing, rich in symbolism, and reference feminine power, vulnerability, sadness, longing, and desire. The paintings often feature young women — adolescent girls and boys — mysteriously posed, leaving their circumstances to the viewer's interpretation. The artist is inspired by the paintings of European masters, Mexico's Frida Kahlo, and the American surrealists. The painting is lovely on its own or hanging in a collection of other small Okaka paintings. Educated in Japan and the United States at San Francisco's Art Institute, Chikako Okada has exhibited internationally over a 30-year period. Her unique works are collected worldwide.
