About the artist
At106, Toko Shinoda is undoubtedly one of Japan’s leading, living artists. Herinternational acclaim is based on her dynamic calligraphy, sumi (ink)paintings, and lithographs. She is one of theforemost calligraphers, painters and print makers in Japan. Shinoda is themaster of an intricate manner of writing tracing back 3000 years.
Executed inblack with subtle tonalities of grey, her prints are composed with an elegancewhich cannot be improved upon. Her prints have a special originality becauseshe usually adds a brush stroke touch of color by hand which adds drama to theinimitable balance of the composition. To do this she mixes her red, blue, orgold sumi inks from blocks that are 300 to 500 hundred years old. This is why her works feel right at home inultra-modern settings as well as next to 3000 year old antiquities.
Under herfather’s guidance the artist first began studying calligraphy at the age ofsix. Even as a child she disliked the standard way of copying Japanesecharacters and was always searching for new expression in her work. A two-year stay in New York in the 1950s introduced Shinodato the abstract expressionists who influenced Shinoda to break free of tightlycontrolled calligraphy and instead use expansive, dynamic brush strokes. Overthe years she has walked farther and farther along the path of abstract art.Her work developed as she began to grasp a simple momentary fleeting image andquickly give it graphic life.
Shinoda’sworks are in the NationalMuseum of Modern Art - Tokyo, Museum of Modern Art - New York, theGuggenheim Museum – New York, British Museum – London, Art Institute of Chicago, Singapore Museum, BrooklynMuseum, Cincinnati Art Museum, the Rockefeller and Ford Foundationcollections. In July of 2013, in an around the world celebration of her 100thbirthday, the Metropolitan Art Museum purchased one of her pieces to highlighttheir new Japanese exhibit. Her 28-meter mural is in the Zojoji temple in Tokyoand another large piece is featured in the Japanese Embassy in Washington. In1979, Shinoda’s talents as a writer were also recognized when she was awarded aprize by the Japan Essayist Club for her book, The Color of Sumi. In a1983 issue of TIME, her trail-blazing accomplishments were proclaimed analogousto Picasso’s.
