Fusako Kuyama

Birthplace of Wind

Kuyama fre­quently depicts aspects of nature that inspire her, from air, water, and trees to the unseen things that sound us. Color is a cen­tral part of Kuyama’s art as she cre­ates lay­ers of trans­par­ent water­col­ors on paper that gen­er­ate deep hues. Kuyama’s work is rooted in tra­di­tional Japan­ese art tech­niques and inspired by Japan­ese artists from the 16th, 17th, and 18th cen­turies, as well as radi­ates a mod­ern West­ern sensibility.
