Nicole Mizuka Darling
Auszug aus dem artist statement der Künstlerin (2020):
"My work oscillates between digital media focused in photography and graphic design, and traditional mediums such as painting and paper collage. Through the lens of the camera, I navigate and interact with my surroundings. With a pencil and paper, I digest my experiences, and on the computer, I find clarity in my voice, experimenting freely without caution.
While the mediums vary, my approach to art-making remains consistent and informed by my predominantly western education and my Japanese upbringing. My color palette is inspired by western artists such as Monet, but I am drawn to the contrast of reduced form, ornamental patterns and flatten perspectives following Japanese tradition. Hasegawa Tohaku’s iconic 16th century twin screens of the pine trees have also inspired me through its combination of delicate lines and vast amount of ma, the empty space that allows for breath in a composition. Enabling ma is an approach that dominates many of my works."
