Senko Takahashi - Fascination of the eyesight ËGallery


Motif

There are surely some persons involuntarily fascinated with a female expression which is beyond the mere beautiful-woman picture.

A theme is an eysight. Takahashi says that a female face is a motif which have impact mostly.
When he was in NY he was influenced by the ukiyo-e prints and got a hint of his major motif.

Every face brews "something elegance, delicate and sometimes mysterious." .

A picture is made by his imagination and sensitivity. There is no model which is likely to be. Many hours are most spent in the stage of a design. If decided once, a color is fixed soon. Original accessories and a hairstyle follow later. The hairstyle or lipstick color differs for every image of every woman.

There are some persons arrested by the impact. There are some persons who escape.
However it is sure that these arts have the much more strength than the beautiful portrait which we see everywhere.
