Keido Fukushima made this piece, Pure and Empty, with ink on paper. I love how this artist uses such limited means to achieve such a powerful statement. The brush dances across the page, varying from thick, confident strokes to the barest whisper of ink. The textures range from matte to glossy, and the ink pools in certain areas, creating depth and volume. Look at that first character on the left. See how the artist allows the ink to bleed slightly, giving the character a sense of vibrancy and movement? This isn’t just writing; it’s a record of a performance, a kind of dance frozen in time. This piece reminds me a bit of Franz Kline's paintings. While Kline used house paint on canvas, both artists share a love for the expressive potential of black and white and an ability to suggest vastness with minimal means. Ultimately, art is about openness. It’s an invitation to see the world in new ways.
