YOSHIKATSU TAMEKANE is known for his technical prowess combined with a unique mystical aesthetic and vision. Tamakane is essentially a woodblock printer, but adds texture to his images using calligraphic techniques. Within his work the artist’s combination of traditional woodblock techniques with contemporary themes is reflected in his statement: "I savor the past and also look forward to the future as a time of hope and advancement for the human spirit."

The use handmade papers and water-based ink that allow him to manipulate light as deftly as any impressionist. His prints are bold, iconic expressions of the concepts the artist seeks to visualize. The passage of time, travel, special relationships, and the miracle of life are all subjects of his works. His images combine landscape, geometry, evocative organic forms, and a controlled use of color and texture into eye-catching images that capture the imagination.

Born in 1959, Yoshikatsu Tamekane studied at Sokei Academy of Fine Arts in Tokyo. From 1991 to 1994 he lived in Paris while studying art at the Musee d’Orsay, the Louvre and the Centre Pompidou. He is a member of the Japan Print Association and has shown ten consecutive years in the prestigious CWAJ Print Show. In 2006 his work “A Winter Memory” became part of the permanent collection of the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens, Delray Beach, Florida and in 2014 "A Winters Dream" was added to the Museum’s collection.

This is an on-going exhibition of national and international artists represented by Art & Frame and The Williams Gallery of Fine Art.
