Biography

"Sasaki obtained her first degree in German literature in Tokyo before moving to Winnipeg to study painting. Upon graduation from School of Art, she received the Alice Hamilton Prize for excellence in painting, and has since established an active studio practice. She is represented by Gurevich Fine Art Gallery and her work has been shown at the Winnipeg Art Gallery and the Toronto International Art Fair among others. In her work Sasaki seeks an imaginative revitalization of the narrative and atmospheric potential of painting. She negotiates the ability of painting to create visual worlds that are both familiar and extraordinary. Her process uses intuition as often as it does linear planning, and as the psychological component takes over, symbols and other elements are added to bring them forward so that the paintings open in a multi-vocal way."
