In 1985, she moved to Tokyo to thoroughly study the art of woodblock printmaking with the world-praised artist Toshi Yoshida 吉田遠志 (Japan, 1911-1995), the son of shin-hanga artist Hiroshi Yoshida 吉田博 (Japan, 1876-1950), a key member of the sōsaku-hanga movement and also a ‘National Living Treasure’ of Japan. Abstracts from Tanya Clark’s website: ‘Tanya’s immersion in the Shinhanga style conferred a real appreciation for the Japanese aesthetic and its subdued and subtle approach to colour. In 1991, her work was awarded ‘Gold for a New Member’ at the Nihonhangakai, the largest international juried competition for woodblock prints […] Tanya Clark work is inspired by the natural beauty of the world, the play of light and shadow, the lyrical patterns of water, cloud, mountain and reef, the fleeting beauty of an ever changing world.’ Click HERE to look at the artist’s website and to see her complete creation of woodblock prints.
