THE REFERENCE BY A.I.R.GALLERY BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, IN FEBRUARY 2009:

In the exhibition, gEddies: New Installationh, Katsura Okada continues her work with rice paper and brilliantly colored Sumi inks. Okada forms thin rolls of rice paper into long flowing forms and delicate varying bundles. In NY Arts Magazine, Erica Snow writes of her recent work: gThe works c are evidence of Okada's expansion of line, space and most importantly, color palette. Her markings vibrate with life, glimmer and dance off the wall.h The color is derived from the artistfs process of dipping the identical rolls in brilliant dyes. The subtle changes in color and tone are highly expressive and hold undulations of suggested motion. Especially in her wall-hung installations, the notion of the openness of time is significant, as the rolls appear to be countable objects and feel infinite in their expanse. The artist writes: "I draw my inspiration from all experiences - happiness, sadness, anger, pain, beauty and ugliness are all influences on my work and mature my mind, to be expressed perhaps ten years later.h

Katsura Okada was born in Tokyo, Japan. She has lived and worked in New York since 2002. She graduated from the Tokyo Metropolitan School of Arts and Music, attended Sohkei College of Fine Arts and earned a Master of Japanese Calligraphy Arts from the Tokyo Academy of Calligraphy Arts in 1992. Since 1990, her work has been shown in numerous international and solo exhibitions in Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Hungary, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Slovakia, Japan, Canada, Mexico and the United States. Recently she has shown at such venues as A.I.R. Gallery in NYC, Black and White Gallery in Brooklyn, Marymount Manhattan College Hewitt Gallery of Art and the Museum of Arts & Crafts-Itami in Japan. She received first prize/grants from the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, the Shoto Art Museum in Tokyo and the SoHo Art Competition in New York among others. Her publications included ARTspeak, Manhattan Arts, NY Arts Magazine, the Yomiuri America news paper, LUXOS MAGAZINE (Italy), IL NOTIZIARIO DELL' A.I.A.M. (Italy), Les Editions Arts et Images du Monde (Paris), dfART (Canada), and others.
