This striking original work by Japanese artist Emiko Maeda (b. 1948, Hiroshima) captures the essence of her acclaimed Fossil series.
Executed during her highly productive late 1980s period, the painting blends rich impasto textures, gestural abstraction, and layered earthy tones.
Maeda’s fascination with geology, fossils, and the rhythms of nature is evident here — transformed into a poetic visual language that transcends scientific depiction.
