TAKA, who offered us the abstract color field work that is restructured with the absolute elements of photograph like color, shape, and texture, will present us monochromatic world. In the images with minimum color and vivid texture, the forest of Mt. Yatsugadake shows various expression. Longing to the primordial vitality and the sense of death remind us of "The power of living" that people has forgotten. hpgrp GALLERY TOKYO, director, Kentaro Totsuka TAKA
