INTERNATIONAL ART BOOK ° “The only time I feel alive is when I'm painting.” Vincent Van Gogh ° www.InspirationArtBook.comTomonori Nishimura UK www.tomonorinishimura.co.uk contact@tomonorinishimura.co.uk ‘Tomonori developed the style of the Ginkgo Ferrum series, more abstract than repre~ sentational, with strong stroke marks and images of ginkgo reflected on brush marks. The new stules, metallic painting of endan- gered plants and Ginkgo ferrum, are better received than his previous style of meta llic flowers among galleries, curators and art publishers, He began to receive more opportunities for exhibition and art fairs worldwide. Tomonori is currently develo ping a new style, Bubble City. It's based on a structuralistic concept — an expression of realitu, perception, systems and nature. ‘Above: Bubble City: Base (Oil, Resin, Polymer on Cenvas).

Work of metallic painting of endangered species has materialistic view that integrates natural en- vironment and industrial development. Most of flawers in my painting are extinct in the wild. They are cultivated by people and protected fram extinction yet the cause of the extinct in the wild may be loss of nature caused by social development. Ginkgo series explores about life, evolution and civilization. Ginkgo is an endangered species and most ancient tree in the world existing since Jurassic era. Bubble City has more metaphysical view involving the concept of real and process of recognition. Nature/Society relation is thought as prior and post states of sacialization.
