'Many ways', Yoko Reijn
Based in Van Wyksdorp, Yoko Reijn is inspired by the Klein Karoo and its landscape and climate. She is an abstract artist working in mostly vibrant coloured acrylics. “Colour is my medium. It is very personal and individual, loaded with feelings, triggering memories and sensations,” says Yoko.
“Everything is impermanent, about cause and effect, and ever-changing. Currently these aspects find expression in my paintings.”
While she hopes to touch each viewer deeply with her work, the true meaning of each piece is in the eye of the beholder. “I can only lay down the finished work in front of them. From there on they start creating it themselves with their own view and reality.”
