At times deeply serious, at times brimming with a zen sense of fun, Kumiko Tanaka’s evocative printmaking style is inspired by her love of tai chi and the balance and perfection of the whole through the union of opposites: yin and yang, earth and sky, man and nature. Works in this exhibit emphasize the perpetually evolving studio practices that are integral to the balance of Tanaka’s own life.
Kumiko Tanaka has been part of San Francisco’s community of artists since 1960, when she moved from Watsonville to the city to complete her graduate work in photography and printmaking at San Francisco State University. Her work is on permanent display at the taiko showroom on the bridge at Japantown. She is beloved by the taiko community for her visual expression of the power and exhilaration of taiko drumming, interpretations which arise from her own deep understanding of taiko.
