Kaoru Mansour (b. 1956)Iro (hana) #268mixed media on canvas42 x 12 in.Executed in 20064032Kaoru Mansour, a native of Japan, is currently working as a painter in Los Angeles. Her artwork has varied over the last ten years, rangingfrom geometric abstract paintings on paper to her more recent botanical collage elements on wooden panels. Delicately colored organicforms are covered with twenty to thirty different layers of encaustic, which gives her work a rich and highly textured appearance. Theartist goes into her physical surroundings to gather plants and flowers - whatever she finds of interest during a particular season. Shethen transfers images of single specimens onto panels - whether it is a leaf, the whole plant or just a portion of a flower - the image isalways simple and solitary. A muted, butter-like background holds the image which is glazed over to form a cracked, raku-like surface - asmall gesture to her Japanese heritage. Mansour then draws colored circles and other small ink markings on the panels, enhancing thefundamental beauty of a single branch or stem.
