Waterfall paintings by Hiroshi Senju ~ 千住博 ~ 'Waterfall' 2009 ~ Another 'Waterfall' 2009 ~ At the 'Shofuso' exhibition in Philadelphia, 2007 ~ A double veil 'Waterfall' 2009 ~ Another 'Waterfall' 2020 Natural pigments on Japanese mulberry paper. Nihonga style. "Senju is one of the few modern masters of the thousand-year-old Nihonga style of painting, which emphasizes traditional Japanese techniques and materials." "Senju began exploring the waterfall image almost 20 years ago. Evoking a deep sense of calm, his waterfalls conjure not just the appearance of rushing water, but also its sound, smell and feel. Senju explains: "By pouring paint from top to bottom, I have been painting not the illusion of the waterfall, but creating the waterfall itself." ~ from "Out of Nature: Cliffs and Falling Water," Sundaram Tagore Gallery, Hong Kong. September 23 - November 10, 2009.
