花、动物和儿童交织在日本雅子的程式化剪纸艺术作品中

旧金山的纸艺术家菅伸子(Kanako Abe)利用传统的日本纸模板技术绘出和服面料的图案——胜宫(Ise-katagami)，创作出精心制作的、程式化的动物和儿童肖像。安倍在2012年学习了Ise-katagami，她的创意诠释了把纸当作成品，而不是单纯的图像制作过程中的材料。艺术家们年轻时的轮廓也让人想起了西方传统，即为一个孩子的侧面轮廓画剪影。安倍用植物的卷须、盛开的花朵和洒满月光的森林场景来填充这些年轻的轮廓。

San Francisco-based paper artist Kanako Abe creates elaborate, stylized portraits of animals and children using Ise-katagami, the traditional Japanese paper stencil technique for patterning kimono fabric. Abe learned Ise-katagami in 2012 and her creative interpretation treats paper as the finished product rather than simply a material in the process of image-making. The artist’s silhouettes of youth are also reminiscent of the Western tradition of creating silhouette portraits of a child’s profile. Abe fills these youthful outlines with plant tendrils, blossoming flowers, and moonlit forest scenes.As seen in the photos below, many of Abe’s works are small, not much larger than the artist’s hand. However, she does occasionally venture into larger territory, as with her life-size wolf and bear paper cuts. Abe most recently exhibited her work in a solo show at the Little Lodge in San Francisco.
