Lumi MizutaniMu I, Contemporary Ink Wash Painting2010

About the Item
Mu I is an ink-wash painting by contemporary French-Japanese artist Lumi Mizutani.
India ink on rice paper mounted on paper, 38 x 70 cm. Sold unframed.
In the Buddhist zen culture, "Mu" literally means "nothing" and is used in Daoism to mean "emptiness". In this series of figurative works, Lumi Mizutani exclusively uses India ink and water. The artist honors the nature of Japan, its bamboo and tall grasses. By their accumulation and juxtaposition, branches, sprouts and leaves practically become abstract motifs.

Lumi Mizutani
Painter and lithographer, Lumi Mizutani draws her inspiration from traditional Chinese and Japanese painting techniques. Her ink drawings and her paintings extend this tradition, and, through constant experimentation, carry her towards new horizons. For a few years now Lumi Mizutani’s work has revolved around the duality between abstract and figurative, black and colour, the spontaneity of the gesture (the ink painting) and the patient composition work (the painting with pigment). Thanks to these antagonisms she finds the necessary and complementary resources to express herself. “I felt the desire to introduce colors, especially Japanese color pigments, familiar to my childhood. Japanese painting thus entered my artistic expression and my life. While respecting the ancestral techniques and codes, I strive to create a personal and contemporary footprint that challenges the viewer by the emotion it arouses.“
