Shinichi Maruyama is a famous japanese artist and photographer that, with his "Kusho" series, has realized something really innovative. A work that conjugate aestethical perfection, purity of design, japanese tradition and advanced technology.
Aiming to to deconstruct the material elements of ink drawing and calligraphy and focusing on the technical and formal characteristics of the photographic medium itself he realized twentythree large scale photographs that represent the interplay of black ink and water, both in midair and on white surfaces.
The photographs are realized with many different techniques and are possible thanks to recent advances in strobe light technology allowing the artist to capture as little as an astonishing 20.000th of a second.
