About the Item

Fumiko Toda has been working with SEFA since her first exhibition in 2010. She studied at the Sugii Art Institution in Mie and graduated from Kyoto University of Art and Design in 2000. In 2001, Toda moved to New York City, where she studied painting, figurative drawing, and printmaking at the National Academy of Fine Art. Her paintings and prints have an obsessive quality of intricate details. Toda often includes insects—notably ants and butterflies—and other small creatures in her compositions. In the exhibition Bountiful, viewers witness a repetition of forms and patterns rendered in vibrant color. Yet, this repetition feels generative rather than reductive—a celebration of the natural world. To the artist, these beings also have a biographical significance. Toda found observing wildlife to be a calming reprieve during her childhood. The artist grew up in a rural community outside of Kyoto, Japan. Initially, she was frightened by the insects. She decided to explore her discomfort by engaging deeper rather than turning away. In her “Butterfly” series, every creature that she renders is different. Within her printmaking process, she employs a single plate for a series, but then manipulates the plate and the ink in between each pass through the printing press. Thus, the works—while connected at their base—are ultimately as varied as the ecosystems that surround us. Toda states: “My paintings are representative of the world I would like to see around me. I am inspired by nature and everyday life that I find intriguing. My artworks usually have many layers of colors, imaginaries and thoughts, but ultimately my love of color makes my painting. I look for surprise, joy, freedom in my life through art-making.”
