Iku Nagai Abstract Paintings

Japanese, b. 1932
Iku Nagai first studied at the Sojusha School of Art in Tokyo, Japan and subsequently received her MFA from San Jose State University, becoming a U.S. citizen in 1958. The effect of this fusion of cultures and styles is strongly evidenced in her work by both her foreground patterning and her playfulness with spatial relationships. Arranging dynamic strokes of line, varying sizes of shapes and splashing opposite colors next to one another creates equal balance of elements in her work. The recipient of numerous prizes, medals and juried awards, Iku Nagai has exhibited both in the United States and internationally with success. Selected major group exhibitions include the Sozo Art Exhibition at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, the Triton Museum of Art and the University of California, Davis C.N. Gorman Museum among numerous others.
