Series 4

In this series, Ansei Uchima saw a further refinement of his abstract style, with an increased focus on fluid compositions and subtle, atmospheric textures. His woodblock prints from this period often featured layered, translucent forms that suggested natural landscapes or shifting light, blending traditional Japanese sensibilities with modern abstraction. Uchima experimented with softer color palettes and gestural mark-making, creating works that felt both spontaneous and deeply meditative. This period solidified his mastery of space, texture, and movement, positioning him as a key figure in contemporary printmaking who bridged Eastern and Western artistic traditions.
