Karamatsu 唐松(からまつ)｜Kimura Shigeru 木村茂(きむらしげる) From the 1960s, he narrowed down his motifs to "trees" and "Japanese landscapes," shifting his style to one imbued with a meditative and deep spirituality. Through countless lines carved by persistently moving the etching needle, he fixed the powerful energy of nature devoid of decorativeness—such as the roughness of tree bark, intertwined branches and leaves, moist soil, and the feeling of the air—into a monochrome world. This work heavily expresses the vitality of nature and trees using countless delicate carved lines that fill the screen. Artist Profile: Graduated from university in 1953, and began copperplate printmaking in 1957. After resigning from his workplace in 1965, he dedicated himself to painting. He has received high acclaim at major domestic and international exhibitions, such as the Florence International Print Biennale and the Ljubljana International Print Biennale.
