Kazumi Nakamura's paintings are an interplay of intense primary colours and geometic lines. In writing about the relationship between these two fundamental elements of her art, she says, 'Colour is space before it is colour. For me, to perceive colour is to perceive space. Therefore, paradoxically, colour which does not maintain and bring out spatial qualities is not colour. The colours used in painting inevitably contribute to space whether they are material or immaterial. The quality of space is determined by the quality of the colour'. The present catalogue, published in conjunction with Kazumi Nakamura's exhibition at Nantenshi Gallery in Tokyo in 1990, includes biographical information of the artist.
