Nakamura’s work has been exhibited throughout Canada since 1950 and internationally since 1956 and in late 2004 he was the subject of a solo exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto. Nakamura was a member of Painters-Eleven and was a member of the Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour. The work displayed here is a good example of Nakamura’s preferred motif which combines the typically incompatible elements of still-life, landscape and geometry. Painted in oils on canvas, the picture’s style is somewhat reminiscent of Japanese woodcuts. Nakamura has described his mural as a “Landscape vision based on spherical horizon, which was brought about by man’s expanding observation of space.” |
