In past few years, Keiko Sakamoto has painted landscapes of Maylin in Thailand, Keelung in Taiwan and Honolulu in Hawaii composed by an unique space. In this time, she announced 13 paintings after researching cities from Bangkok in Thailand to Colombo in Sri Lanka.

In my practice, I aim reconstruct ordinary spectacles, I encountered while traveling overseas and which are far from artistic dimension, as fine art. Fabrics pasted and painted onto canvas serve as raw meta- phors for life, excitement and friction. The patterns on the fabrics are symbolic of foreign cultures, and communicate the general sense of dissonance I feel as a Japanese encountering these foreign cultures. Using a foundation of classical perspective drawing methods, I am attempting to express the weightless space that exists between perfect balance and imbalance, and to instill in viewers the feeling of being in a permanent state of limbo.
