Rei (Ray) Morimura
These contemporary woodblock prints are the creations of Japanese artist, Rei (Ray) Morimura. He began his career as a modern painter using abstract geometric forms, which later had a deep influence in much of his prints of Japanese landscapes. Considered one of Japan’s greatest living woodblock printer, his work is easily recognizable by his use of ‘flat’ perspective often depicted from a high vantage point. His prints are available in Azuma Gallery, Seattle.

“Drawing gives one the ability to manipulate a page or image in order to take creative control over ones reality, dreams or fantasies. It enables them to explore their imagination and create things that don’t exist in the world around them.â€
