Kayu Nagai

Artist Statement

The power of Nagai’s paintings lies in their simplicity. The expansive and infinite skies, so often emphasised in her works are accentuated by the juxtaposition of small images of nature and the impermanent elements of industry and mankind. Strongly influenced by Asia and Germany , the soft colours and vast skies in Nagai’s works have left us with a beautiful selection of pictures.
