Hiroki Murata Susan Christie
Tranquil Light II - Sumi-e at the Cutting Edge
|
"Murata's
and Christie's approach to sumi-e painting gives their images an ineffable
sense of mystery. Murata's work explore qualities of light and shadows, and
his images of doorways, windows, stairways, and trees look as if they could
be 19th-century gum bichromate prints. Christie's abstract paintings are a
blend of ink and mineral pigments, and both artists push the boundaries of
this venerable tradition." - Diane Armitage, reprinted
with permission from a Preview in THE Magazine, May, 2004.
