"The Last Geisha" is the last ever Geisha NFT of physical painting to be created by Dominique Baker. This is for the NFT ONLY Physical art not included in sale of this NFT.
This artwork includes subtle references to the Ethereum logo seen on her hair adornment. It is also the very first painting by Baker to be signed with her DomBaker.ETH domain name. The pose of this geisha is a hint at Baker's new direction in her art practice, she is heading into the future but with her eyes on the past. This work is significant in the evolution of Baker's art. It marks the end of an era with hints at what the future may bring.
The kahu bird you see on her kimono is influenced by the bird life seen from Baker's home studio. It is a symbol of protection. The motifs on her kimono are referenced from Baker's talented friend Cora-Allen Wickliffe and her revival of the lost art of Hiapo.
This NFT is a 1/1 edition.
NFT ONLY - PHYSICAL ARTWORK NOT INCLUDED IN PURCHASE
A selection of 1/1's tondos by Dominique Baker of her Japanese X Māori culture Geisha.
"It was something about their mysterious yet elegant poses that drew me in..." "One painting of a Geisha led to another and before I knew it that's all I wanted to paint! Never quite perfecting the last and always looking to make the next better."
Wooden panel frames are firstly prepared as the support for my works. With the use of clear gesso and shellac varnish, these mediums begin to shape and form my figures. To lay the foundations of the painting, acrylic paint is then applied. These mediums subtly represent the colonial influence of our history. Finally, Japanese steel chisels are used to carve the intricate detailings, such as feathers of korowai (cloak) and kōwhaiwhai (Māori motif) seen on tukutuku panels, flowers, hair highlights, weaving, taaniko patterns, and bird feathers. This form of carving or etching, suggests a connection to the Māori art form of whakairo.
