YUICHIRO KIKUMA
Silent Traces
Yuichiro’s work attempts to visualise the invisible forces, patterns or rhythms that exist around us in daily life, in the same way as any landscapes are created as a result of their specific climate. Actual form feels almost incidental and immaterial; driven by rhythm and pattern in both inspiration and process, his fluid, abstract style appears as a manifestation of energy favouring perceived spirit over direct imitation.
Silent Traces is a series of monochromatic works created using found natural objects as mark making tools. Their small scale format, tonality, and ethereal, almost translucent imagery are reminiscent of photograms, as if he is attempting to capture the likeness of the unseen.
Influenced by his upbringing in Japan, where there is an ingrained reverence for nature, Yuichiro often talks about “surrendering” to nature, and describes his process as “channelling”, not making, allowing natural patterns and elements and energetic fields to choose him rather than the other way around.
