Inspired by all art forms, from erotic stamps of the Edo Period to impressionism, from Osamu Tezuka to Gustav Klimt, the artist has built a universe all her own. A universe made of infinite worlds, all means of escaping reality, gravity and its restraints, to attain a certain form of transcendence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAYA TAKANO’s inner journeys wind their way into delicate works that convey a disturbing impression, somewhere between eroticism and impertinence. In a bedroom or in the metro, in front of the skyscrapers of a megalopolis or on the moon, naïve and androgynous girls are sketched out in thin, sharp lines. The artist’s mythology has constructed itself little by little, through her creations and visions of the unknown. In March 2011, a violent tsunami struck the northeastern coasts of Japan and led to the nuclear accident of Fukushima. A real wake-up call for the artist, this catastrophe deeply influenced her work. Preferring oil paint, which is more natural, to acrylic paint, for example, AYA TAKANO seems to pursue a new artistic quest, both humble and spiritual, influenced by a unique interest in science and guided by an absolute respect for nature and human life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AYA TAKANO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55636554449274,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0820\/5084\/2961\/files\/aya-takano-spaceship-ee-01.jpg?v=1765035921","url":"https:\/\/storela.perrotin.com\/products\/aya-takano-spaceship-ee-english-version","provider":"Perrotin Store Los Angeles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
