Description
Mount Asama, the active volcano on the border of Nagano and Gunma prefectures, rises dramatically under a fresh mantle of snow. Ono renders the mountain's bulk with the flat, silhouetted authority of his best urban work, treating geological mass the way he treated city blocks — as bold, interlocking shapes carved with purpose and printed cleanly. The stillness after snowfall suits his reductive graphic style, stripping the landscape to its essential forms.
