Twomie Ohtake

B. 1913, Kyoto, Japan. D. 2015, São Paulo.

Accomplished painter, sculptor, and printmaker Tomie Ohtake settled in Brazil after her visit from Japan in 1936 was prolonged due to the Pacific War. It was not until the age of 39 that Ohtake began to paint, channeling a figurative style encouraged by Japanese artist Keiya Sugano, who was passing through Brazil in 1952. It was still later that she began to develop her acclaimed painterly style that focused on a simplicity of forms and intense, saturated pigmentation. In the context of Brazil’s Concrete and Neo-Concrete movements, Ohtake’s work distinguished itself.

Remaining unaffiliated with any group, Ohtake pursued her own freedom and experimentation, as exemplified by her renowned “blind paintings,” in which she put on a blindfold to paint. Ohtake’s career soared in the 1960s with numerous international exhibitions, public sculpture commissions, and inclusion in biennales including São Paulo, and Venice. Ohtake continued making art until the end of her life, and in 2013, at the age of 100, was the subject of 17 exhibitions across Brazil. source & more:

I'd like to be clear in stating that I am an artist before I am anything else because it is my life's purpose. This craft is not meant therefore to be a hobby, but my mission in this world and for the worlds to follow. When I cease to be, my work will live on. And, anyone who is not this passionate about what they love cannot be serious.

July for Loki - The painting I started a few days ago in Loki's art journal is finally completed. The second slide is a more detailed shot. I'm still experiencing a flurry of emotions when I look at this painting, which is now with one of the altars tonight. ❤️

Hail Loki! I love You! ❤️
