Artist Iori NAGASHIMA
Iori NAGASHIMA Iori Nagashima
Iori Nagashima paints everyday life. Working primarily with figures, still lives, and landscapes, he captures fleeting moments of quiet time on canvas. While pursuing the forms of his subjects and the light that falls on them, his brushwork—emerging from the body—and the accumulated decisions of when to paint and when to hold back bring into view a psychological distance from the motif, a temporal distance from memory, and a shifting relationship with the viewer.
