Space
Ansei Uchima’s Space series exemplifies his mastery of abstraction, atmosphere, and movement through woodblock printing. In these works, he explores the concept of space not just as a physical dimension but as an expressive, almost spiritual experience. Layered, translucent forms float across the compositions, creating a sense of depth and quiet dynamism. His use of subtle tonal variations and organic shapes evokes natural elements like mist, wind, or celestial expanses. The Space series highlights Uchima’s ability to merge traditional Japanese techniques with modernist abstraction, resulting in prints that feel both meditative and expansive.
