Framed in hand painted (by the artist) black wood moulding. The painting itself is 12 x 9 inches, while the outer dimension of the framing is 15 1/2 x 13 inches. Condition excellent. Artist signed, titled, dated Verso. Painted by Okada in 1998.Proudly presented by Andra Norris Gallery in Burlingame, CA. Chikako Okada’s autobiographical oil paintings, bridge traditional realism with magical realism and surrealism. She is inspired by European Masters, Frida Khalo, and the American Surrealists. Okada uniquely addresses questions of the human condition through her meticulously detailed, and patterned paintings. They are mesmerizing, rich in symbolism, and reference power, vulnerability, sadness, longing, and desire. The images often feature young women, girls, and boys that are mysteriously posed, leaving their circumstances to the viewer's interpretation. 1991 San Francisco Art Institute, MFA in Painting, San Francisco, CA 1987 San Francisco Art Institute, BFA in Painting, San Francisco, CA 1982 – 1983 Pitzer College, Claremont, CA Spring 1982 Kantou Gakuin Univers Chikako Okada has exhibited internationally and her works are collected worldwide.
