Saori Doi: A Prayer for Today

Saori Doi’s powerful works sear themselves into the viewer’s memory with their texture. The rough surfaces of her paintings evoke the tactile feeling of earth and stone. a perceptual illusion akin to cutaneous sensation that builds affinity with the audience. Her motifs, though diverse and simiplified, are connected by a grandeur comparable to primitive spirituality, conveying the existence of some powerful ‘presence’ that permeates both the viewer and the work. Like distant thunder, or a rumbling tremor, these pieces channel fragments of the powerful forces that move the Earth and we hope you will experience them for yourself.
