AYA TAKANO's artistry has yet to be fully dissected by the art world at large. She is that rarest of creators who forges their own unique artistic context - one that is far ahead of its time. Her work draws its themes from the schematics of unknown worlds, the frayed edges of society, misshapen animal life forms, and the dogma of human desire.
It took thirty years for society to unlock the labyrinthine content of the novels of Phillip K. Dick and other hard-boiled 1960's science fiction authors, a fact that is reinforced by the way their material has formed the mainstream of Hollywood literary adaptations since the 1990's. Likewise, the true value of TAKANO's work lies thirty or more years in the future, when audiences will decipher the vast range of uncharted information which lies beneath its surface.
