Series 3

This series demonstrated Ansei Uchima's continued evolution of his abstract woodblock printmaking, marked by a greater emphasis on fluidity and spatial ambiguity. His works from this period often featured soft, overlapping shapes and delicate tonal variations, creating compositions that felt both organic and atmospheric. Uchima’s use of negative space and layered color washes conveyed a sense of quiet movement, reminiscent of shifting landscapes or changing light. This period reflected his deepening engagement with modernist abstraction while maintaining the influence of traditional Japanese aesthetics, resulting in prints that were both serene and dynamic.
