. . . the card for: ‘BIG KIDS LITTLE KIDS’ by JOHN FREEBORN

from the back of the card:

” Big Kids/Little Kids chronicles the first 8 years of the newly emerging contemporary art movement in Philadelphia. It features artists from SPACE 1026, 1Pixel, 222gallery, and Spector (the galleries that have supported this energy) and artists from outside of Philly who have shown in these spaces by shaping and being influenced by this scene.

The book showcases the artwork and asks some simple questions of each artist.
JOHN FREEBORN, one of the founders of SPACE1026, tells
the story through his viewpoint, guiding you through the multi-layered
connections that have helped fuel a new generation of artists from the city of brotherly love.”

TOKYO-based artist SAEKO TAKAGI at the recent opening of her 2nd solo show, titled ‘Saeko Takagi’ – at atm Gallery in Chelsea, March 23, 2007
Photo: Nancy Smith

the show was written up in BLOOMBERG NEWS by KATYA KAZAKINA
March 29 (Bloomberg) — Hot-Pink Portrait

“Young Japanese artist Saeko Takagi represents an alternative to her more famous compatriots like TAKASHI MURAKAMI.

Pop Culture takes a back seat in her sensual acrylic paintings inspired by traditional Japanese calligraphy. For her second show at ATM gallery, Takagi turns to nature and portraits of young girls.

Both subjects are realized with a mix of looseness and precision, yielding playful and lighthearted results.

The paintings of intertwining tree branches incorporate drops of brightly colored
resin throughout, making the works look jewel-like.

Western influence trickles in through Takagi’s colors: Coupled with pastel yellow
and gray are bubblegum pink and green, intense peach and royal blue. It’s a
tender and festive universe worth visiting.

Prices range from $4,500 to $9,000. The show is on view through April 21
at 61B W. 27th St.”

saeko painting # 19

the landscape paintings have … “resin” or what we might call “gloss medium” “jewel-like” dabs of 3-D transparent or translucent glow, which you can just make out throwing off luminous, shiny reflections in the red highlights at the top of this painting. (sort of like – hard candy ‘drops’). The portraits on the other hand, are uniformly luminous in “wash” technique alone.

SAEKO TAKAGI, acrylic on canvas, 28 x 28 ins., featured on the artlovers homepage week of March 27, 2007.

This is Saeko Takagi’s 2nd solo show at atm Gallery. Ms. Takago came in from TOKYO for the opening on March 23rd. The show is still up. running till APRIL 21.

the buzz on the street in Chelsea this past weekend was that: … “Bill sold out the show, or sold pretty much of the show, in the first week, .. or even before the show actually opened ..” Bill Brady actually has several pieces on hand that aren’t even in the show, as Saeko shipped him a whole bunch of canvases rolled up – too many to include in the show ! – ready to be stretched here.

artlovers was lucky enough to happen to walk by, just as the thrill of opening the shipment took place.
