JAPANESE PANELS WHITE LOTUS

Large format panels that evoke the floating world of oriental theater. Hand-painted on cotton, they display a choreography of lotuses among hypnotic swirls, a graphic language reminiscent of Japanese ukiyo-e. Their verticality suggests a suspended set design, like a fragment of a curtain or a ritual screen.
