Rie Takeda and Neo-Japonism
( ネオ・ジャポニズム/ new-japonism / neo-japonisme / new-japanese style)
As an originally created and registered new term of an artistic style found and defined by Rie Takeda, Neo-Japonism follows the French term „Japonisme“ (1860～).
It absorbs the influence of traditional Japanese art on contemporary global new open forms of aesthetic essence and modern life.
You’ll find a new quality of spirit and aesthetics as result of melting the essence of these two different eras and spirits.

RIE TAKEDA *1976 ( Hokkaido/ Japan )
Rie started practising calligraphy at the age of five under the creative supervision of her grandmother, a distinguished “GAYU – Ryu” calligrapher. Later she began to take lessons in the Gayu calligraphy school. It laid a solid foundation for her development of the SUMIE technique in calligraphic design.
After her art and design studies in Japan and Europe her inspiration and enthusiasm for the new forms of art as well as her knowledge of the traditional Japanese craftsmanship and design, led her to discover the Neo Japonism style.
Her last years in Europe have been creatively productive. She was exposed to numerous works of modern art, which resulted in her maturing as an artist. It also resulted in fusing the essence of traditional Japanese art, design and poetry with contemporary art forms. As well as Neo- Japonism painting Rie produces Neo-Sho on canvas, Washi-collages, vintage kimono fabric collages, works in body art, photography and video. She works on several projects and collaborations and exhibitions - both in Europe and Japan.

It began as an installation piece and soon developped into an art performance at various London galleries.
As one of the very first original Body-Art performers and calligraphers, Rie continiously experimented with the transformation of Japanese quality calligraphy on the naked human body and various art forms and medias.
Her performance displays calligraphic craft and expression in a pure quality - being reborn and revitalised through the human skin. Performances are often collaborations with choreography, music, and projections.
