Yuka Nishida(西田優花) Artworks for Sale

Concept

The split bamboo called komai bamboo, used for cultural assets and for mud walls of old houses, is wrapped in straw bamboo, and its bamboo grain is usually beautiful, but the moment it is stripped off, it seems to finish its role and dull its pale skin. The moment it is stripped off, however, its role is over and its pale skin is dulled. It will eventually take on an old, aged appearance, or else it will soon fade away. I tried to keep the shape a little longer in this work. Handmade persimmon tannin is mixed with sumi ink, and exposed to sunlight as much as possible to make it darker and paler. Both the tannin and the washi are natural. They will eventually decay along with the komai bamboo.

Nishida's works are fundamentally different from paintings as generally imagined.
What the work brings to the viewer is first a confrontation with the material, and then a series of images and abstractions that call out to the viewer.
With the concept of "Always There, but not Always the Same. Since 2021, the "Capture the Source" project has been using techniques such as ripping, rubbing, joining, dyeing, and modulation to express the decay and change over time from the "Minamoto" (source).
