Wataru Matsumura: Microcosms In Ink
It is often said of pictures that they open a window to another world. The images created by Japanese artist Wataru Matsumura construct their own worlds.

Two Peacocks. A Department Store
The scene immediately absorbs you. An explosion of colors spreads in space like a peacock’s fan. There are all kinds of greens, pinks, yellows, blues… No traces of white here, but for the two golf balls on John Walter’s Crazy Golf installation at the back of the room: this it all that remains from the White […]
