Snow Day
Snow day is about what is absent in the landscape. Emptiness becomes a huge presence by a clean and condensed image. The minimum features makes sense a landscape; the definition of a coastline and the contour of a mountain.
Reflection of nature as it is felt, as it happens, to show its mystery without having to explain it. The white-empty as negation and exclusion of the space representation. Mountain and water go beyond their appearance and are a contrast to the town, as it displays an enigma because of their discretion in ways and form a wall of silence that surrounds it. Also, polarity including the mountain, as stable, is drawn by the colour. While water, it is the ephemeral, it is drawn for the absence. The town is the presence of man in nature, but in the distance, between mountains and water, it merges with the emptiness identified with the hazy atmosphere. Empty works as a pause, as a division between time and space, like an abysm that join and divide parts.
Pictorial aesthetic reminiscent of traditional oriental ink landscape, the look is one that interprets and paints nature. Purification of the ways to convey a feeling that goes beyond the apparent reality represented and gives the impression of landscape imagined, unreal. Small format photographs produced to enhance the intimacy idea of landscape. Landscape as a secret, as a quiet unknow.
In the mountains
and on the plain, quiet:
snow day.
Fukuda Chiyo-ni (福田 千代 尼), 1703 - 1775.
