Emily Hotel’s Artist in Residence Through December: Takako Konishi

Explore the transformative power of art at The Emily Hotel as we welcome our current Artist in Residence, Takako Konishi, through the end of the year.

Known for his innovative collage technique, which he calls “painting with images,” Konishi uses digital technology to craft vibrant compositions that delve into themes of sexuality, anger, beauty, and obsession. Born and raised in Chicago, his multicultural upbringing and formal training in architecture at the University of Cincinnati’s School of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP) inform his unique artistic perspective.

Konishi’s work explores the interplay between reality and perception in the digital age, offering thought-provoking reflections on feminine power and subcultures’ influence on identity.

Discover how art can deepen your sense of place and perspective. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience Konishi’s evocative work in our public spaces!
