DESCRIPTION:Studio Sixty Six is proud to present esteemed Japanese Canadian
  artist Norman Takeuchi’s new series of paintings for his solo exhibitio
 n Scrolling.\n\n<strong>"Occasionally it becomes necessary to take a brea
 k from the demands of painting. A detour from the usual routine provides r
 elief and can simultaneously be rewarding. Scrolling was a welcome detour 
 for me\; a decision to simply paint for the joy of making images\, to indu
 lge in inventions and improvisations while employing previously learned le
 ssons.</strong>\n\n<strong>"This body of work was an opportunity to delve 
 further into a key component of my practice\, abstraction. The abstract mo
 tifs of my previous works are kept active within the rectangular format of
  Japanese scrolls. In turn\, these organic and geometric forms are surroun
 ded by decorative Japanese patterns. The Scrolling paintings attest to the
  delight in the exploration of colour combinations and they show that maki
 ng paintings can be playful." </strong>Norman Takeuchi\, Ottawa\, ON\n\nBo
 rn in Vancouver\, some of his earliest memories are of the interior of BC 
 where his parents were forced to relocate during World War II. Ultimately 
 graduating from the Vancouver School of Art in 1962\, he went to London\, 
 England\, to concentrate on painting\, and again in 1967 with a Canada Cou
 ncil grant. In 1996\, he left a design career to focus on art. He has sinc
 e participated in many solo and group exhibitions. His work is represented
  in permanent collections of the Royal Ontario Museum\, Canadian War Museu
 m\, Ottawa Art Gallery\, Canada Council Art Bank\, City of Ottawa\, Carlet
 on University Art Gallery\, and in private collections in Canada and abroa
