Ryuma Imai a renowned Japanese contemporary artist
A son of the late Toshimitsu IMAI, an internationally acclaimed Japanese contemporary artist of his time, Ryuma IMAI uses ‘gravity’ as a driving force in his colorful paintings of living creatures. IMAI pours enamel directly onto the surface of paper and canvas creating spontaneous lines and forms following the images he has in his mind. As paint pouring technique doesn’t allow perfect control, elements of uncertainty and unexpected results are undeniable. The event of uncertainties in his art is metaphorical to the life of the creatures he paints. They live in the world of uncertainties where unexpected events have great impact on their livelihood.
