Amor Eterno
is dedicated to emerging artists. Be a witness to the artist breakthrough and
watch the process flower. Takahashi-Coker is organic in its truest form,
offering the viewer sharp realities in modern urban and native ancestral
environments. Original photographs become graphite on paper. Takahashi-Coker’s photo realism is skillful as
it is uncomplicated. The eyes of her portraits tell truths in their gaze,
capturing you by the struggle they witness. Amor Eterno will be featuring both
photographs and graphite on paper.
Artist
Statement
Irene
Takahashi-Coker
As a young
artist, I'm not quite sure where this will take me but all I know is that it is
a passion of mine. Art brings me true happiness. It is my outlet, my therapist
and my teacher. I am very inspired by graffiti, portrait photography, tattoo
art and other realism arts. I have always been an artist, following my mother's
creative path, but have only recently started working with scientific realism
still lifes and portraits. My hopes are to break free of some of the strict
guidelines I've learned as a fundamental background to my art and create not
only emotional pieces but statements as well while using the small details in
my work to bring the picture to life. The portraits I like the most have some emotion
or pain behind the eyes that tell a story and I try to stay as true to that as
possible, as I see the eyes are what really make my portraits seem real. Small
details like the wisp of the hair or texture on clothing also help keep the
subjects true to life. I am dabbling in photography to hopefully expand my
horizons and create my very own portraits from start to finish
("reflection" is my first 100% self created piece). I have recently
started a tattoo apprenticeship hope to keep progressing as an artist
through different medias such as graphite, photography and skin.
I want to thank Amor Eterno, Amy and Sal, for opening up their doors to help support my work. A special shout out to all my supporters, family and friends for motivating me and always showing me love and support for my artwork.
