Kay Tasuji Art Kay Tasuji received her BFA from the University of Houston and currently practices in Houston, TX. Artist Statement -

Kay Tasuji is originally from Iran.

She has received her BFA from the University of Houston and currently lives and practices locally in Houston. Her whimsical and poetic landscapes are triggered by the cultural subtleties of her unique background. She looks at both cultural and social themes, in which she reflects on the complexities of her own personal story as well as the surrounding historical and political context. Kay tries to

portray the emotional depth and intensity of experience through this cultural lens. Her paintings and drawings reflect a mixed identity of interaction, collectiveness, solace, isolation, struggle, chaos, and turmoil on a constantly evolving stage. She is interested in the intricacy, flexibility, continually changing or sometimes seemingly static state of individuals and the inconsistencies and contradictions that human life can unfold. Her works on yupo are detailed and meticulous drawings that combine soft lines and strong rich colors that daringly invite the audience into this interpretation of the world. Kay’s landscapes galvanize the viewer to become a part of the narrative. She uses organic lines, natural forms, and distinct points and dots that form soft shadows and shapes in her pieces. She loves to use bursts of vivid colors to evoke emotional invasion against a backdrop of calmness, stillness, and apparent uniformity. Each illustration depicts a piece of an unfinished story where the audience’s senses are asked to follow parts that are moving, twisting, decaying, and growing.
