Ikkyu An Gallery Cafe - Kobe, Japan 2011

Coordinator for Maryvonne: Jacqueline Okuma

Fenêtre (French windows) by Maryvonne is a collection of acrylic and watercolour paintings that depict her life in Japan and France. She is particularly taken by the French countryside and the autumn colours in Japan. Maryvonne's ability to manipulate colours creates the ambience of actually looking through a set of French windows to the gorgeous landscapes of her paintings. Her style is almost abstract but her confident brush strokes creates intricate details that depict an illusion of reality.

Maryvonne's paintings were put on display the at the Ikkyu An Gallery Cafe in Kobe. This quaint space attracts all sorts of creative minds to display and perform their art to a community dedicated to art and culture. The warm Japanese atmosphere has a space for traditional tea ceremony, it is the perfect place to spend several hours relaxing and exchanging ideas with other lively individuals.
