Review
By Loring Knoblauch for Collector Daily, published July 22, 2020"Variant frames capture the small transformations that occur as stormy winds blow through the greenery, waving the grasses and shaking the tree branches. Seen in the grid display here, the variants offer small moments of change and soft blur, the surfaces in a constant state of almost imperceptible motion. By choosing to use multiple images instead of just one, Imasaka heightens the sense of shifting impermanence, the forest incrementally adapting and changing before our eyes, if we are willing to slow down and look closely."

Illuminating Earth 144 C27, June 2, 2020
Sometimes dark, sometimes bright, the different shades of blue and green in this series of gelatin silver prints express my emotional swings in these days of an unknown future. The lockdown has caused me to look at numerous negatives again and print and tone them in the darkroom. Rather than capture phenomena happening outside, they are my correspondence with the sacred scenery in my distant homeland.

Other Works by Yojiro Imasaka
Illuminating Earth (2019 - ongoing)"Illuminating Earth" is the latest series Imasaka has been developing resulting from a long shooting trip in Japan in summer 2019. From a forest in the Shirakami Mountains in the north to a subtropical rainforest on the remote island of Yakushima in the south, Imasaka continues to envision landscapes before and after civilization. Some of these works were first shown at last year's art fairs. Please inquire about other available sizes.
