Piece description from the artist
"WHITE LIGHT" is a series of works expressing "time and space" formed as a whole from conflicting relationships such as natural and artificial, bud and flower, and the back and front of a leaf. Keiichiro used aluminum shavings instead of mud to create the image of a person who lives a pure life untainted by their surroundings, like "a lotus in the mud". The flowers are arranged by the artist himself.
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 2020.
Keiichiro Muramatsu was born in 1972 in Shizuoka, Japan. He attended a Focal Point professional photography course in Vancouver in 2001-2002. After going back to Japan, he established a portrait studio ”The Fourth Avenue Studio” in 2008 in Shizuoka, Japan. He has started to learn “Nageire” (literally, “thrown into”) which is a freer form of flower arrangement, placing innocent wildflowers simply in rough-hewn vessels, from 2013. He also established an atelier for producing his works in 2014.
