Everyday life becomes extraordinary in "Painting the Floating World." This new exhibition by Ringling College of Art and Design alum Chie Fueki synthesizes Japanese ukiyo-e atmospheric techniques with Western abstraction, perspectival space, and practices of overlay and juxtaposition. Drawing from her own Japanese and Brazilian heritage, Fueki’s vibrant and densely layered works dance with an elaborate interplay of painting, drawing, and constructed mulberry paper compositions.
Spanning 25 years of the artist’s career, these works carve out familiar scenes that fuse figuration and abstraction to create an intricate “floating world.” Intimate and expansive, ordinary and extraordinary, "Painting the Floating World" captures daily life in full motion.
"Chie Fueki: Painting the Floating World" is organized by Sarasota Art Museum of Ringling College of Art and Design and curated by Lacie Barbour, curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, with Rangsook Yoon, former senior curator.
