Fuyuko Matsui

I have visited a great many galleries, open art events and artist’s studios this year and also looked at a lot of art on-line where the quality of images varies a great deal. Occasionally something will grab my attention (not always the best or even good) but since our visual world is saturated with images it is hard for anything to stand out.

Fuyuko Matsui is an artist who shines out and having stumbled across her work on-line I really want to see it in the flesh, alas this is unlikely any time soon. Tate (London) have an article about her dated 2009.

Oil quilt detail

The air we breathe rips at our lungs, detail about 25 x 40 cm

Somehow, despite the number of essential sudoku games, online jigsaw puzzles, &c. progress is made and the quilt is nearing completion.

Oil quilt

Most of this was complete months ago, just doing borders now. If the text seems topical, October 31st 2023, it’s because the people in charge in the west never stop bombing some poor brown folk somewhere in West Asia, Africa or Central America, or anywhere else they fancy.

Toys and Models

I finally got round to painting one or two models, using a tiny amount of acrylic, two coats. I don’t supply paint in the kits but they are very cheap, at pound shops and such. Models are on sale at Basically Wooden.
