The “Woman with an Idea” by Lena Yokoyama

Details

After seeing the M.M.LaFleur icon, Lena was drawn to its Matisse-like approach and the way it hints at the female form through an abstract and bold yet elegant shape. This encouraged her to play with a combination of shapes, forms, and lines. She was also inspired by M.M.’s empowering clothing and strove to reflect its energy in her female form. Her experiments led her to produce a three-color screen print with multiple hand-painted and overlapping layers, resulting in this magical, starry-night scene.

Screen print on Lambeth Cartridge, 280gsm. Artwork size: 40x50cm. Paper size: 43x53cm.
