Opening Reception | Toshio Shibata's Harmony: Color Photographs


This exhibition featuring 21 color photographs that extend the artist's exploration of man-made structures more co-existing within nature. Toshio Shibata's connections with Japanese artistic tradition are intriguing. He purposefully went against the grain of the traditional Japanese concept of landscape, yet his viewpoint is unmistakably Japanese. His work has a strong connection with the way classical Japanese architecture integrates itself within its environment. In this sense, Shibata's mediations on the contemporary landscape have a surprising connection to classical Japanese tea pavilions - both are set carefully within the surrounding landscape, and each displays a refined sense of spatial proportion. less
