Artist's comment
I used to camp at the beach of Ishigaki island every summer and sketch sceneries in my student years. That was the time I met the stunning color I had never seen. It was the cloud in the east that was dyed with red color of remaining light at dusk. No matter how I painted it with red, couldn't get close to my impression of that scene. Then I looked at the sketch in charcoal. It grasped the feeling, color and moisture I had. From then on, I started exploring in the monochrome world.

Gallery's comment
Tanaka had been said the new bearer of Suiboku painting early on and got Ataka prize while she was in the university. At the exhibition of Okayama Prefectural Museum, which overviewed all the historical Suiboku painters over 500 years, her pieces of work appeared along with national treasures.She didn't intend to be a painter at first but had a rush of motivation to draw the nature of her home (Kumamoto) like aspects of sky, cloud, water that keep changing and wind that blows between trees. That is why she started to paint.
