Honfleur – Oil on Canvas, P12
Wind and Light – Seeing the Emotions of Landscape
An inner monologue toward the landscape.
Born in Karafuto, Japan after the war, Kaishu Mizushima is said to carry a constant sense of longing for his homeland.
The painter does not merely attempt to depict the scenery before his eyes.
For example, in the landscapes of Hokkaido, there is a refreshing wind sweeping across the plains.
In Honfleur, a breeze gently strokes the surface of the sea.
These winds embrace the bright light.
He captures this fleeting moment on canvas.
Because he understands that within it lie the many emotions of life.
A collection of refined works with elegant tonal expression.
Yet the painter constantly feels like a “foreigner,” no matter where he is.
It is an introspective emotional response to the landscape.
