Tsuyoshi Higashijima Employing his own body as a barometer, Tsuyoshi Higashijima engages in an iterative, introspective dialogue between perceptional intuition and the language of painting, continually pursuing a painterly expression attuned to life itself. The dynamic yet elegant movement of his lines is grounded in the calligraphic sensitivity cultivated from his childhood through his youth. These lines traverse aural, semantic, and imagistic realms, modulated by the distinctive qualities of humidity and light that vary with Japan’s seasons. What emerges is Higashijima’s singular abstract style, which opens onto a new dimension of expression.   Yukari Suematsu With touches of blurring and blotting, Yukari Suematsu delicately renders colors and forms that emerge through countless studies rooted in lived expereinces and emotions.
