Japanese Whispers In Respect Of Lowry

I hail from rural Sendai and then moved to the neon lights of Tokyo in Japan. However, despite the richness of rinpa, ukiyo-e and other Japanese art movements, I can still feel the pull of L.S. Lowry, Utrillo, Gauguin, Sisley and other European artists. At the same time, I adore Japanese artists like Yuzo Saeki. Therefore, I enjoy fusions and how thought patterns can impinge on art - along with individual creativity. Given this reality, Lowry provides a unique style that relates to natural industrial themes (he painted other styles also) based on passion and individuality. Yes, a far cry from Hoitsu, but equally beautiful....!

Very Nice Sawako, one of my favorite artist is Maurice Utrillo and some of your paintings sure do remind me of his works.

Hello Mario, thanks, yes, I really like Utrillo and how he changed things around despite suffering from certain health issues.

Have a lovely day!
