About the artist:
Haruyo Morita is a contemporary Japanese artist celebrated for her intricate and romantic paintings that blend traditional techniques with a modern aesthetic. Born in Saitama Prefecture in 1945, Morita's artistic journey began as a kimono painter and designer, a discipline that heavily influenced her distinctive style.
Her work is a vibrant tribute to the elegance of Japanese culture, primarily focusing on women in splendid kimonos set against idyllic, often ethereal, backdrops. Drawing inspiration from classical Japanese art, Kabuki theatre, and the historical Edo and Meiji periods, her paintings are renowned for their meticulous detail, rich use of colour, and liberal application of gold leaf. Morita's art is a testament to her deep connection to her heritage, capturing the timeless beauty and grace of her subjects in a way that resonates with a global audience.
The MORITA HARUYO large signed limited edition silkscreen print "Okuni" is a stunning portrayal of traditional Japanese culture, specifically capturing the essence of a Geisha. Created in 1989, this artwork stands at 97cm in height and 60cm in width, making it a significant size for a striking impact. The use of cotton fibre and heavyweight paper adds to the quality and texture of the piece, while the mounted and framed display highlights its importance as a collectible item for art enthusiasts interested in Oriental art. With a limited edition of 200, this screen printing technique by MORITA HARUYO showcases the beauty and tradition of Japanese culture.
