In 1993, Ken Done was asked to create a series of works to be shown in the Sogetsu Keikan in Tokyo. ‘Walking through the Cabin garden I – XII’ is a suite of twelve large canvases, each almost 2 metres square.
The wonderful gallery space, designed by Isamu Noguchi for internationally acclaimed artist and patron Hiroshi Teshigahara, forms the massive entrance to the Sogetsu School of Ikebana.
"My wife Judy has created a wonderful garden full of colour and life and I have tried to capture a little of the joy that flowers bring to me and I'm sure most people. I cannot match nature, only show - through art – the feeling that I have for the garden."
- Ken Done, Tokyo, 1993
