Fresh and agile like raindrops, the work brings a baptism of soul to the viewer, and people can't help but fall in love with the beauty of nature.
Junya Tsubota (焄田純哉).
Japanese painter Junya Tsubota was born in Saitama Prefecture in 1974 and grew up in Tokyo, graduating from the Tokyo University of the Arts' Graduate School of Fine Arts, majoring in Japanese painting. He embeds abstract intentions into concrete figures, conveying works of art with aesthetic significance through sensual interpretations.
Junya Tsubota pays special attention to natural phenomena and forms, such as water and sky, contrasting these elements with otherworldly bright colors. With the help of traditional Japanese painting materials such as washi paper (hemp paper), ink, glue, hu powder, gold leaf, and mineral pigments, the images of the sky and water are superimposed, and the fusion of figuration and abstraction is completed from a more modern perspective.
His works coexist with "stillness" and "movement", skillfully expressing the changes of light through the power of color, with a somewhat fantastical world view. "The unique beauty of the rhythmic dance of ripples on the water, like an improvised phrase or an illusion that appears and disappears in an instant on a mirror, makes me very eager to create this joy in my heart, and it conveys the power of living in harmony with nature. ”
In Junya Tsubota's paintings, subtleties and grandiose beauty can be traced, as the rain falls to form delicate lines, undulating with the lake, and then embellished with blank spaces, giving a visual experience that is natural and seemingly absent. There are no complicated elements in the picture, only the ripples on the water surface, from the depth to the shallow, from near to far, and the transparent lake surface is integrated, giving the limited picture infinite charm.
In the idyllic dreamscape, the work has both a traditional Japanese aesthetic and a futuristic atmosphere. Drawing on the lessons of her predecessors, Junya Tsubota attempts to create new forms of harmony in the space of contemporary art.
