“Ask birds about birds, ask flowers about flowers”— the flower and bird paintings by Shōkō and Atsushi Uemura had been created with the guidance of nature and thus reflect their profound reverence for the wisdom of nature.
Sitting in nature and spending unmeasurable time together, artists recognize the sense of unity with nature and nurture an inviolable world of beauty in their minds.
The endless lines of new discoveries and impressions influence artists’ states of mind and their styles of expression. Now, take a look at the process of evolution of the beautiful world inside Shōkō and Atsushi, who were specialists in flower and bird paintings.
This exhibition explores the abstruse world of nature which they have looked into, along with their sketches showing traces of discoveries and aspirations.
