About the Item
With an illustrator’s eye for graphic impact and a wry sense of humor, artist Yoko Tanaka uses only a paint brush and her imagination to conjure whimsical landscapes and playful encounters. Lingering in the surreal, her dreamlike paintings of human-animal hybrids are at once mischievous and melancholic, painted within a limited palette of soft, smoky tones that give her works a sense of stillness and otherworldliness.
Dark and mysterious, "Snow Grinder" depicts a fantastical scene straight out of a fairy tale. Pausing from his work, the snow grinder stares off towards the forested horizon while mythical winged horses leap from the drawer of his mill, born from the sparkling white snow. As in many of Tanaka's works, a wistful, yet amusing tone is achieved by the juxtaposition of familiar objects and surreal environments, with just a touch of fantasy.
