About the Item

Atsuko Tanaka Small circles with blue, red and green circles screenprint, 14.5 x 9.5cm image 37.7 x 27 cm sheet 42 x 32 cm framed ed. 61/100 Small circles with blue, red and green circles by Atsuko Tanaka is a quintessential example of Atsuko Tanaka’s distinctive artistic language. The seemingly chaotic yet deliberately composed network of lines and circles reflects a central motif that recurs throughout her career, functioning as a metaphorical map of interconnected systems. The dynamic forms and vibrant colors invite multiple interpretations — as the trajectories of electrical currents, the organic pathways of the human body, or the intricate web of social relationships. As a key member of the post-war avant-garde Gutai Art Association, Tanaka embraced the group’s philosophy of exploring the relationship between body, matter, and environment. The kinetic energy of this work captures that ethos, transforming abstract shapes into a living, symbolic diagram of these fundamental connections. Ultimately, the composition stands as a vivid visualization of energy, life, and the essential forces that underpin existence — a theme that runs consistently through Tanaka’s entire body of work.
