TOKITOH AYAKO

Silkscreen. Born 1970 Tokyo. Nippon Enginering College. Studied under Kasai Masahiro, well-known silkscreen artist. Exhibitions: Solo exhibitions in Tokyo and Osaka. Tokyo International Mini Print Triennial Prize 2002.

Tokitoh’s subject matter are flowers shown in the most beautifully delicate hues of greys, blues, and greens. She achieves this by drawing the motif directly onto the screen and printing with translucent ink. By repeating the process about ten times, she gives the image substance while maintaining its delicacy.
