Size 21 x 21 cm

Description

A linocut inspired by our travels in the land of the rising sun, where night falls quickly. We love strolling through the deserted alleyways in the evening to capture the unique atmosphere of these places. From sunset to nightfall, storefronts light up and alleyways are transformed.

In this engraving, the only point of light is the lantern of a small restaurant. It subtly illuminates the decor, revealing objects and shapes, creating the mysterious atmosphere of traditional Japanese neighborhoods. It’s an atmosphere I’m very fond of, and one I wanted to capture in this linocut. The idea was to suggest the setting with a few rare touches of light.

Travel to the heart of Japan through my linocuts

My linocuts are directly inspired by my travels in Japan. Fascinated by this country, its enchanting landscapes and rich culture, I create works that capture the essence of places that have made a deep impression on me. My creations reflect the diversity of Japanese landscapes, from the mystical beauty of its temples to the elegance of its maiko. Each theme is carefully chosen by myself and Sophie to offer an authentic and captivating representation of Japanese culture, and thus share with you a unique vision of this fascinating country.
