'Light and Time' showcases Shigeno Ichimura's paintings from his 'Silver Monochrome' and 'Time Compression' series. In 'Silver Monochrome', the artist uses industrial paint on canvas. The precise and transcendentally meditative process evokes a sense of order and a universal structure. On the other hand, in 'Time Compression', the artist uses 'rust' to create a sense of chaos and progressive degeneration. According to Judith Page in her essay, 'Ichimura characterizes the 'Silver Monochrome Paintings' as representing the outer self and the 'Rust Paintings' the inner self. In so doing, he courageously portrays the angst of the individual who sees reflected in his own body the angst of the universe - a striving for order and a movement toward chaos.' Artist biography is provided at the back of the catalogue.
