Taki Katei – December 3rd

Posted on 13th August 2019 by mbirchall

We are privileged to view this Japanese artists work. Once a celebrated artist in Tokyo, Taki Katei’s paintings were displayed in the Imperial court and his impressive works also traveled to international exhibitions. After his death the demand for delicate paintings of flowers and birds fell out of fashion and his work was slowly forgotten. But you will recognise them I am certain.

A lovely calming run up to Christmas rush.

To all who have booked and payed a refund will be given as this exhibition has folded and with no word from the organisers it was a very lucky trip I took down Bold St last night.

Only to find the venue closed. I am very sorry about this it is out of my control.
