Daisuke Nakano Japan, 1974

Nihonga style painter Daisuke Nakano (b. 1974) uses an animated expression method that imbue his images with a vitality and tangible liveliness. He is precise, visionary, and patient, only producing a single artwork a year as he painstakingly perfects every line to capture perpetual movement. He depicts a sense of time standing still.

Nakano explores a unique sense of space particular to Japanese fine art. Drawing on traditional Japanese painting materials, Nakano is inspired to use gold or silver leaf as a base—a method developed by Ito Jakuchu or the Rinpa School. Depicting the overwhelming power of nature and the climax of life, evanescence and sorrow take center stage: flowers in full bloom will eventually fall and return to the earth. It is the intoxicating paradox of life
