ABOUT THE WORK

Cristina “Kitty” Taniguchi graduated with a masters’ degree in English and American Literature from Silliman University in 1985 and has been painting since. Her paintings suggest an emergent and dreamlike use of icons and imagery. Her elements are positioned in a disparate yet unified way, wherein although the piece fails to exhibit the pictorial cohesion present in more conventional scenes, it manages to relay a democratic sense of existence within its parts. Taniguchi’s work does away with the treachery of images and presents us with an unfiltered presentation of forms that exist within our subconscious.
