Born in Japan and raised in Brazil, Chie Fueki is an artistic Vitamix of global influences. Working in mixed media, Fueki’s works are immaculately crafted and devilishly detailed (the above right image is a detail of the painting at left. Would you have guessed?)
Fueki also strays from the standard vocabulary of subjects and influences. To wit, hers include team sports, numbers, textiles, lacquerware and kimonos. Sometimes all in the same piece! Happily, the artist also dotes as much on her titles as on the paintings, giving them names like Significant Moment and Every Corner Runs Two Directions for added interpretive oomph. Like her work or hate it, you have to admit there’s nothing quite like it out there.
