Market Street Gallery is very proud to announce Dreamscapes; a debut solo exhibition by local San Francisco artist, Tomoko Kumaki, a collection of her paintings created over the past few years. The exhibit will open July 2, 2013, and run through August 30, 2013. The artist reception will be held on Saturday, July 13, 2013, from 6 PM - 8 PM.
Born and raised in Tokyo, Japan, Tomoko Kumaki moved to San Francisco in 2000 to study art, where she currently lives. Tomoko received her BFA from the Academy of Art University, where she majored in traditional illustration.
Working as a graphic artist, Tomoko found painting in her studio to be a therapeutic creative outlet. All of her paintings are done without planning beyond the initial canvas size; color and form emerge as the paint is applied. Tomoko begins by filling her canvas with soft texture and colors. She then layers fine controlled lines above a color storm creating an atmosphere that is quiet and calm to convey subtle movement. Her paintings take an average of three months to complete; Tomoko feels strongly about allowing her paintings to evolve organically at its own pace.
Tomoko is inspired by the beautiful, quiet moments in life; these moments are reflected in her work along with a strong Japanese sensibility.
Dreamscapes are a peaceful place that come from within, and are an escape from everything outside the canvas. They are neither places nor objects. Dreamscapes are pure feelings and emotions.
