Description
NATSUNOUMI — The Sea in Summer — a summer seascape in Kimura's contemporary woodblock style, the ocean depicted in the full heat of the season with the deep, saturated color and intense light that characterize the Japanese summer sea. Kimura's summer sea subjects explore the visual qualities of the ocean at its most dramatic and vivid — the deep blue water, the brilliant light, the sense of both openness and intensity. His graphic approach translates these atmospheric qualities into flat, bold areas of color.
