Artwork Description

With their biomorphic shapes, Minako Iwamura’s paintings exist in a liminal state that feels both abstract and corporeal. She uses geometry, color, and pattern to explore the psychological undertones conveyed by the structures found within them. On view at the fair are a suite of new oil on panel paintings topped with gossamer-thin lines of white charcoal linework. Iwamura’s paintings combine curvilinear forms and subtle shifts in color to produce compositions that radiate a kind of energetic pulse. Her interest lies in the exploration of dualities— geometry and nature, the singular and the collective, premeditated delineation and intuitive movement—and the slippage between them.
