This series of paintings by Shinichi Maruyana is an impressive display representational of Zen gardens. "The Zen garden is the expression of boundless cosmic beauty in a physical environment, created through intense human concentration, labor and repeated action". These paintings express just that: capturing the essence of liquid, frozen in mid-air.
Maruyama repeatedly throws tempera paint into the air and photographs the results, then arranges the frozen actions in compositions that defy logical physics.
In doing a bit of research on this artist I came upon an earlier project, Kusho, in which Maruyama photographs sumi ink and water.
