’5 Years / 5 Questions’ with Audrey Kawasaki by Thinkspace.
check out Q's andA's by the other attending artists on Sour Harvest.

Tell us a little bit about your piece for Thinkspace’s ’5 Year Anniversary Show’ this November?
It’s about flowy looseness and unpredictability. Random lines and colors. Intuition. Impulse. About inconsistency… How things change and pass.

What were you doing back in 2005 when Thinkspace started?
I just began showing at galleries around that year, so i feel like we started and grew together. I’m happy to still be a part of Thinkspace.

Name 5 things you can’t live without in your studio?
A window with a breeze, a carpet/rug to lie on, laptop for muses and music, cats to lounge with, all my paints and brushes and panels and tools.

Where do you hope to be 5 years from now?
I will keep painting. Hopefully have a book out by then. New projects. More shows in other countries. Travel. Live comfortably but with new thrills and excitement and change.

What have you got coming up in 2011?
A 3 or 4 person show at Merry Karnowsky in Spring and a four-person show at Thinkspace in Fall.

Hi Audrey,

Will there be any prints of your piece available at the show? I really like how you have combined the rough background structure with the silky smooth coloring for this piece. It's all so calm and peaceful. Great choice of colors :D

Artist in black lace dress painting photo always makes me giggle when I see it. Either she's very lucky to never get all that paint (shown on easel) on her, or she changed for the shot, then changed back to sloppy clothing:)

ANyways, I wish I lived closer!... seeing things in person always blows online snapshots out of the water :(

Ahhhhh! Your girls get even more beautiful with time, if that's possible. I love on this one how you combined the controlled style of the girls with the wilder scribbly element. Woooow! You do the scribble first?!? I think you gotta do lots of eraser then when you draw the girls... X) Amazing!!!!!

Hurt

Having been a fan of your work all the way back to " horn girl " , there is always one or two in a collection that jumps out at me, but this one... I couldn't stop looking at it, as a whole it's a beautiful image but if you focus in on the center girl covering the two on the sides... At least for me, the piece brings up very real feelings of heartache and lost love and it's wonderful, I truly hope this piece becomes a print so I can catch that feeling more often. Your a wonderful talent Ms. Kawasaki thank you.

I truly don't know how you do what you do--it doesn't seem possible that you do it all by hand, yet here we get to see it in progress. Beautiful, astounding work. Someday there has to be a large-format coffee table book of your work, and until then I'll be keeping a space clear in preparation for it. ;)

Just beautiful - I really do think it's rather lovely.
By the way, I also like the inclusion of your cats in your 'in the making' photos lately :)

this is beautiful but i think the position of the ear is very distracting.. its far too high. i know your figures arent perfectly proportionate in the first place but the ear is very awkward..

the epitome of sensuality!- oh where's that painting with the cats?

I kinda wish the black markings showed through the front face. Still awesome. Nice rhythm to it.

THIS IS WHY I NEED TO MOVE TO CALIFORNIA. being on the East Coast makes it hard to see a lot of my favorite artists (why must you monopolize all of them, California? learn to share!).

Making-of photos are awesome. I love getting a glimpse of how people do their work, especially work as gorgeous as yours. *picks your brain*

I just found out about your artwork last week and now I'm a new fan :) It's so exquisitely beautiful and their faces are always so entrancing. I love it! :)
