Description
Book Synopsis
Anchored in the Western art world, Nomura naturally incorporated cultural and spiritual traditions of his native Japan into his versatile artistic work, which often touched on the spiritual dimensions of life. Text in English, German and Japanese. Shortly before his death, the artist Koken Nomura, who was born in Japan in 1948 and died in Cologne in 2021, planned a publication of selected works. This book follows the artist's original wish in its selection of works and texts. His use of different materials, artistic approaches and means of expression were as complex as our lives. Anchored in the art world of the West, Koken Nomura repeatedly referred to his inherent Japanese perspectives. He naturally incorporated the cultural and spiritual traditions of his homeland into his work, which repeatedly touched on the spiritual dimension of life. Text in English, German and Japanese.About the Author
