Mizuho Fukumuro
Japan
By combining Nihonga’s expressive use of space and the transparent qualities of acrylic paint, Mizuho Fukumuro’s paintings offer an abstract depiction of natural phenomena and the accumulated traces left by humanity as we live among nature.
Be it the scenery of 10,000,000 years ago or the scenery of today that is within our arm’s reach, Fukumuro captures the overlapping trails left by various perspectives and lines as they crisscross time and distance, exploring the relationship between herself and distant places in the process. Her 2023 exhibitions at Art Taipei and in New York, among other locations, were the subject of significant praise.
