"I sense the changing seasons and the richness of nature through the mountains and withering plants in this transformed environment. The autumn foliage, moving away from the pursuit of light, evokes thoughts of rebirth and creation through the colors of trees and leaves."
The artist’s own changes in environment have led to a new perspective on nature, resulting in a greater focus on natural motifs in recent works. These pieces exhibit a richer palette and a stronger sense of vitality compared to earlier works.
There is a signature on the back of the work.
It is unframed. If you would like framing options, please feel free to inquire.
ABOUT Masaya Tani
1981 Born in Oita Prefecture, Japan

I photograph scenes from everyday life, then process the images to extract the boundaries between objects and light, and from them paint pared-down landscapes rendered in contour alone.
