Keiko Moriuchi's Daiyu and Shakyamuni of 1995, a small signed assemblage that turns a Buddhist title into a blaze of gold, red, turquoise and found objects.
The Piece
Keiko Moriuchi works in mixed media, building small altars of paint, collage and objects that sit somewhere between folk shrine and pop collage. Daiyu and Shakyamuni, dated 1995, is a vertical composition on the small SM format, the size Japanese painters reserve for concentrated, jewel-like work.
At its heart a little doll in a red robe stands beneath a gold medallion struck with a face, flanked by pink and purple rings and set on a lattice of gilded characters and stripes. Wedges of stone and enamel, turquoise grounds and sunburst rays crowd the edges, and every surface is worked in relief, so the piece catches light like a reliquary. The title and the artist's signature run in her hand down the right edge.
The work is set in a deep gilt and painted wooden frame with a hanging wire, and comes with its wooden storage box, which shows light wear. The backboard has light toning.
