The Calligrapher's Words
On the other side of the window in our universe
There is another universe, it is said
It's a silent world of the bottom of memories
hundreds of million years of breathing are falling down
September 1, 2019 ISHII Houtan

Commentary On The "COSMOS" Series
We are pleased to present ISHII Houtan's representative work, "COSMOS" series. The series is created using the technique of painting in the sense of calligraphy. It has been highly praised as contemporary art, winning the Encouragement Prize at the NAU 21 Century Art Coalition Exhibition in 2017.
The material, "Gansai 岩彩" mineral pigment is made by crushing semiprecious stones and various ores such as vermilion, malachite, indigo copper ore and lapis lazuli, and it usually used in Japanese-style painting. The artist has fixed the pigment to the PVC sheet by the original technique. The surface of artworks sparkles various shade depending on the viewing angle, and very visionary.
ISHII is one of the best calligraphers who have been leading avant-garde calligraphy for a long time. He learned calligraphy under UNO Sesson and MIZUKOSHI Bouson who are legend masters of avant-garde calligraphy since the early 1970s (Click here for his profile).
He said that the origin of his expression was Carl Sagan's cosmology, his childhood memories of his time on the bank of Mogami River and the mysterious abstract world of MIYAZAWA Kenji (Click here for the interview).
All new works in 2019. We hope that you enjoy the world of the latest ISHII Houtan.

PURE Review
You will instantly be captivated by the glistening of gold and the magical fluctuation. Its brilliance which changes its shade depending on the viewing angle or time plays Fantasy. The refined sensibility of the calligrapher is reflected in every detail of the work. The title "Karma (業)" is an idea that has existed in India since ancient times and refers to acts, and rewards that result from actions. It is said that good intentions and good deeds bring good karma and a fortunate reincarnation, and vice versa. A medium-sized panel, 35.8" height, 28.6" width, 1.2" thick. This work makes the drawing-room or hall of your residence gorgeous. Please take this opportunity to get the masterpieces that will color your days.

PURE Review
A bluish silver light reminiscent of a quiet deep space. As the calligrapher says, it seems that "the empty space swayed, a dot was born..." and to began to shine. The title is "Shine (昭)". The Chinese character "昭" means bright, clear and conspicuous. Invited by meditation by staring at the brilliance which changes its shade depending on the viewing angle or time. A medium-sized panel: 28.3" height, 22" width and 0.8" thick. Just place it on the furniture. Perfect for the chic living room and your study.

PURE Review
A thought emerges on the misty blue-green sea. The imagined scenery outside the window is stirring a yearning for a cruise to distant countries or a space trip. Its brilliance which changes its shade depending on the viewing angle or time upgrades the usual dining room dramatically. Match for your bedroom or bathroom too. Not mounted. If you like, you can use a white mat on the black frame and make it float mount. Or you can collect several works in the same series. (We accept consultation about any mounting and the combination of works. Please feel free to contact us.)

PURE Review
Great things never came from comfort zones. So I get out of where I am. The artist's thought might be like this. The title is "project (突)". "project" is derived from Middle French "jeter", which means "throw", and represents an activity that is "thrown" fast towards a goal. The word "jet" is also derived from the word. Ideal for conference rooms where you can discuss projects. Its brilliance which changes its shade depending on the viewing angle or time may flash your project. Not mounted. If you like, you can use a black mat on the black frame and make it float mount. Or you can collect several works in the same series. (We accept consultation about any mounting and the combination of works. Please feel free to contact us.)
