Yokoi Tomoe 横井巴, 1943-

Tomoe Yokoi was born in Nagoya Japan in 1943. She began art studies at Bunka Gakuin Tokyo College of Art. Her subject matter is typically realistic everyday images such as fruits, musical instruments, and flowers. In 1964, following graduation, Yokoi moved to Paris, and studied intaglio printmaking with S. W. Hayter at his famous workshop, Atelier 17. In Paris Yokoi developed her technique of mezzotint, expanding its parameters to include more complex images and subtle color nuances. In 1971 Yokoi moved to New York City. She has developed a unique style which combines and is a synthesis of her Japanese, Parisian, and New York experiences.
