Agora Gallery Presents:
The Persistence of Form, an exhibition showcasing Japanese artist Tohru Aizawa.
Japanese artist Tohru Aizawa captures fleeting, wild moments in the Alaskan landscape. Aizawa states that he strives to sustain a certain level of photographic realism in his work, yet the viewer can easily see that Aizawa brings his own emotional dimension and depth to the painting through his interpretation. Using subtle color variation to convey mood, each Alaskan landscape is spare, minimal and elegant. These landscapes are stark and seemingly barren, yet Aizawa manages to suggest dormant life stirring just under the surface. Aizawa�s triumph in these works is his ability to simultaneously suggest a landscape that is wholly alien to the viewer, yet also deeply familiar. Tohru Aizawa has been painting since he was eighteen years old. He has exhibited widely throughout his native country of Japan, in both group and solo shows.
