Grass 

Sokyu Ueda made this print, "Grass," using ink on paper, engaging with the established tradition of Japanese calligraphy. The artwork is a dance of fluidity and control. Notice how the artist wields the brush. The strokes vary in thickness and intensity, creating a sense of depth and movement. The ink, applied with different pressures and speeds, captures the very essence of organic form. The varying marks capture the spontaneity of nature. While seemingly simple, it's worth considering the discipline required to achieve this effect. Ueda likely spent years mastering brush control, ink mixing, and paper selection to be able to make this look effortless. This act of creation becomes a performance, where each brushstroke embodies the artist's skill, intention, and understanding of the materials. Ultimately, this print is an invitation to appreciate the harmony between material, process, and artistic expression.
