Tadashi Asoma’s Japanese-inspired painting, “Afternoon Calm,” patiently reveals the exquisite fabric woven from nature’s fragile patterns and infinite colors. Expressively portraying the often-overlooked beauty within simple natural forms, the Japanese-born Asoma’s fascination with Impressionism and Post-Impressionists fluently speaks through his work’s poetic color, design and graphic abstraction. Painting and printmaking for four decades, Asoma imbues his scenes of the American landscape with a wonderful Japanese aesthetic sensitivity.
