Zen Shapes
Powerful yet peaceful, the Zen Shapes feature segmented geometric shapes in minimalist compositions. Sheets of handmade Japanese paper are deckled and silkscreened to present conventional shapes in a thoughtful new way. These artworks truly have a handmade quality with the natural edges of the handmade Japanese paper and the irregularities of the hand-drawn designs. Inspired by wabi-sabi principles, the imperfect and incomplete shape is appreciated for its charm and beauty as the focus of the artwork. With their large scale, these artworks possess a commanding quality and act as meditative studies, allowing the viewer to be introspective and reflect. In neutral tones, our cool grey, warm grey, and earl grey inks have a calming effect and can complement any interior. Our hand-finished espresso shadowbox frame grounds the artwork and connects it to its surroundings.
