Barbara Takenaga says, "My paintings are often seen as trippy cosmic explosions, obsessive pattern paintings, or cartoon-like scientific diagrams gone awry. For me, they are paintings about mortality, sometimes using visual clichés and sometimes a personal 're- visionism.' With a restricted, radiating composition and a repetitive process, the images range from still and cosmic to flailing and comic. I want the work to be alternately elegiac, evocative and occasionally funny, with visual buzz and sensation." Barbara Takenaga received her BFA and MFA from the University of Colorado at Boulder. The artist exhibits throughout the United States, and currently lives and works in New York and Massachusetts.
