About the Item

"Twilight, Kyoto, Japan" is a unique (one-of-a kind) photo-based mixed media sepia toned print with hand manipulation on hand-edged Japanese artist's paper. It is professionally framed to museum standards in a 2" deep whitewashed natural maple wood frame. The work itself measures 17" x 21" and is framed to 22.5" x 26.5". It is floated under plexi and sits slightly off of the back support so that the edges of the paper are clearly visible and cast a shadow against the support. Worldwide shipping. This work is part of Asian artist Yasuomi "Hashi" Hashimura’s ongoing "Future Déjà Vu" series, which features abstracted images of historic sculpture, architecture, and landscape from Paris, France; Rome, Italy; and the artist's native Japan. Hashimura creates each photo-based print as a unique work of art, through a process in which he combines darkroom printing with calligraphic brushwork that recalls traditional Japanese ink painting, or "sumi-e." Scholars have referred to this blend of painting techniques and photographic methods as "Hashigraphy," a highly personalized form of painting in the darkroom. Working with photographic emulsion as his medium, Hashimura layers gestural strokes and drips that both obscure and emphasize portions of the photographic image, removing it from the particulars of time and space. By re-imagining ancient artifacts, architectures, and traditional culture according to his own contemporary vision, Hashimura modernizes the historic in his "Future Déjà Vu" series, encouraging the viewer to suspend traditional notions of past and present, memory and history, loss and preservation. Hashimura often quotes Daisetsu T. Suzuki, a Japanese scholar who wrote extensively on Zen and Buddhism: "Eternity is the Absolute present." The concept of the artist’s "Future Déjà Vu" is, in essence, a kind of eternal truth, where the past, present, and future are all connected. The works in this series demonstrate this concept in the way they take a historic subject matter (ancient architecture, sculpture, or monument), re-produce it in the present as a current work of art, but in such a way that the contemporary work appears aged and historic itself, as if the viewer is looking back at the contemporary artwork from some future point in time as an artifact of the past. Yasuomi Hashimura (b. 1945, Ibaraki City, Osaka, Japan) lives and works in New York City. He has had solo exhibitions in Tokyo at the National Museum of Western Art; the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography; Seibu Yurakucho Art Forum, Ginza; and Mikimoto Gallery. He has also exhibited his work in group exhibitions and delivered lectures in Taiwan, Brazil, and the U.S.
