Tracing the Colors

Known for her vibrant use of colour and flowing style, artist Manika Nagare is taking over the Atrium Gallery inside Hakone's Pola Museum as part of its 15th anniversary 'Hiraku Project' programme. Using some well-known classics which are exhibited at the museum, such as Pierre-Auguste Renoir's 'Nude in the Water', Vincent van Gogh's 'Clumps of Grass' and Claude Monet's 'Le Bassin Aux Nymphéas', Nagare has interpreted and reimagined the Impressionists's use of colour in her own, original works.
