“I’m inspired by the process of reduction, paring down objects to their essential formâ€.
“The idea of reduction stems from my appreciation of Japanese woodblock prints, their muted tonalities and restrained compositions.â€
“I see the process of reduction being less about abstraction and more about creating clarity and harmony between the essential formal elements: shape, colour, and composition. The negative space is really important in my images. It accentuates the subjects within the space and their relationship with one another. By pairing down the compositional elements, the aesthetic experience is more immediate and direct.â€

Masayasu Uchida
On my first trips to Japan, I purchased four landscape prints by Japanese artist and printmaker, Masayasu Uchida. Had I more walls in my house I probably would have purchased more. There isn’t much biographical material on the artist. I know only that he was born in 1922 and graduated in 1943 at the then Technical High School in Yokohama training in architecture. His creations are primarily landscapes often with seasonal references. His profile can be viewed (in Japanese) at the Uchida Masayasu Gallery.
