LIGHT-UP（aka） 赤（あか）｜Tanaka Yoshikazu 田中喜一（たなかよしかず） This woodcut print titled “LIGHT-UP（赤）” focuses on the transformation of trees and captures their various expressions. The artist creates his works with an intention to resonate with Bach’s chorales and Vivaldi’s string concertos, reflecting themes of divine revelation and guidance from nature. The base of the composition is black, with large tree branches spreading radially across the entire surface in red, and the trunk constructed in white. The balance of colors is harmonized, resulting in a visually compelling work. The print is hand signed in pencil and numbered 1/30. --- Artist Profile Yoshikazu Tanaka was born in Kyoto Prefecture in 1933. He began producing copperplate and woodblock prints in 1978.
