Concept

Sawako Nasu speaks of distance, connection, and relationship using the language of painting. 'How can one touch the paintings of the past?' Nasu says this when reflecting on her own practice. At the root of her work lies a gaze toward the absolute, unbridgeable distance between the classical or Modernist paintings and eras she admires and herself living in the present, and it is precisely this sensibility that gives her art its thoroughgoing vision. Contrasting the era of classical painting with the era to which she, a contemporary, belongs, Nasu engages with the possibilities of painting. Her stance goes beyond the scope of her personal interest; it can be said to hold a contemporary awareness that searches for what is possible at the cutting edge of an ever-updating history of art.
