Since 1985, Nobuhiko Utsumi has been working on and exhibiting his paintings which have a theme of the fundamental energy that carries out all these issues as space creation, history of life and human society. The work titled ‘ Innerscape ’ is created as a field where consciousness, body and materials affect one another, and it visualises each of our ‘ inner cosmos ’. There we can see this world’s ‘ certainty ’ peeping through, which creates physical nature, life phenomena and even human spirit.
Utsumi’s painting style was started as an original search which was induced by the Chinese-style landscape painting, particularly ‘ Hatsuboku Shan shui ’. And in 1992, his 19-metred masterpiece seemed to have reached the peak of his art work but after a sudden transformation the paintings were changed as using all the colourful　paints richly blooming on the screens.
However since the exhibition in 2013, he again returns to Chinese black and white ink painting, and he has reached a new stage by infinitely flowing ‘ cosmic landscape painting ’ with unpredictable dynamism.
He has opened a new horizon of abstract painting. In this exhibition he has changed his recent working forms of Japanese folding screens and creates a space that reminds us of multidirectional cosmos that exchange energies discontinuously and also expand and contract together.
