Piece description from the artist
The Parisian sunlight in June was strong, glaring, and impactful. Upon returning to Japan, at once, while the light shining in through the window of my atelier still generated a feeling as similar to the Parisian sunlight as possible, based on my fresh memory of it, He arranged flowers and produced the series of photographs. The series involves the presentation of lotuses while keeping in mind the notions of “moving” and “cutting off”, which arise out of the strong contrast between light and shadow, and focuses on “shiny, strong beauty”, which represents an aspect of the golden light.
This work is a new edition of work from 2017, produced with a new printing technique.
The paper used in the original print consists of a neutral paper and a plaster layer, the surface of which is further coated with its own plaster containing mica. The result is a natural and deep image quality that is full of life. The plaster provides a high degree of preservation.
This work received 1st place, Professional Nature/Flowers at the IPA 2017.
