The themes in Audrey Kawasaki's work are contradictions within themselves. Her work is both
innocent and erotic. Each subject is attractive yet disturbing. Audrey's precise technical style is
at once influenced by both manga comics and Art Nouveau. Her sharp graphic imagery is
combined with the natural grain of the wood panels she paints on, bringing an unexpected
warmth to enigmatic subject matter.
The figures she paints are seductive and contain an air of
melancholy. They exist in their own sensually esoteric
realm, yet at the same time present a sense of accessibility
that draws the observer to them. These mysterious young
women captivate with the direct stare of their bedroom eyes.
