Kyoto Rinpa, Electric

Drawing on the innovations of the Kyoto Rinpa, I attempt to fuse the aesthetic and design of semiconductor schematics and virtual space. that A new frontier of decorative beauty in Japanese painting.


Silk-painting

Based on traditional flower-and-bird paintings, my silk paintings are full of warmth and healing with a sense of transparency. I breathe new life into the world of Japanese painting with beautiful waves of light and varied three-dimensional spatial expressions.


Japanese painting

Nishijima's paintings evoke traditional Japanese styles, using natural materials (such as mineral pigments, ink, silk, and Japanese paper, washi). He was raised in an area surrounded by natural beauty. He cherishes Nature and is passionate about making the best use of natural materials in his work.


Mixed media

A technique used to create works of art through the use of two or more different types of material. Nishijima makes innovative use of ancient Japanese materials, using Japanese paper, washi he has made himself and Japanese resin lacquer, urushi.


Ewashi

"Ewashi" is a word coined by Nishijima himself. E means picture in Japanese and washi is Japanese handmade paper. His pictures convey different expressions by using his own type washi that has different degrees of thickness in a single sheet. He creates and displays new and original artworks every year.


Contemporary art

Nishijima believes that you learn more about yourself by stepping out of your shell into the world outside. His works incorporate traditional materials but are unlike traditional Japanese paintings. He displays them at exhibitions and overseas art fairs. On a new stage, he challenges himself in the expression and creation of artworks that go beyond anything he has done previously.
