Representations of nature in art have changed over the centuries. Depending on the epoch, it was represented symbolically or realistically. Nature has also become a material for a new art direction – land art.
For Akira Inumaru, nature is an inspiration and material. The artist uses flowers and dyes obtained from plants, and subjects them to the impact of the sun. As he declares, the main agent of his works is light, because – in a physical sense it ‘creates’ colour, destroys matter and simultaneously feeds plants. The artist is also interested in its philosophical (Platonic) sense, related to cognition and its mystical, spiritual meaning.
The exhibition is part of a series of presentations by artists from the `MOCAK Collection.
