MOCA presents Focus: Takako Yamaguchi, the artist’s first solo museum exhibition in Los Angeles, showcasing a striking new series of oil-and-bronze-leaf seascapes. Born in Japan and based in LA, Yamaguchi draws from a wide range of artistic traditions, from Nihonga to Mexican muralism, to challenge fixed ideas of cultural identity. Her highly stylized paintings merge abstract motifs like spirals and zigzags with natural forms, reflecting a unique blend of Eastern and Western influences. This exhibition highlights the culmination of her forty-year exploration of style, ornamentation, and authorship.
