ISHIMATSU Yufu
Biography
Ishimatsu Yufu paints plant motifs in mineral pigments, gofun, and sumi ink on Japanese paper mounted on Shina plywood. The image surfaces on both the wooden ground and the paper, drifting between layers. Loosening the transparency that Japanese painting has long granted its support, the picture plane sways with light and with the viewer's movement through space. Born 1999 in Oita Prefecture; MFA in Japanese Painting, Saga University Graduate School of Regional Design (2025).
