Gardens by Shinichi Maruyama. Turning liquid sculptures into a Zen garden using strobe light technology and high-speed photography to capture paint in motion. The graceful motion and the soft tonality of the tempura paint are key to the emotions Shinichi Maruyama wants to display. Maruyama was born in Nagano, Japan.
Maruyama about the "gardens" series; "I have tried to represent this feeling I get from Zen gardens in my artwork. Although I am still far from those enlightened monks who labor in nature, my actions of repeatedly throwing liquid into the air and photographing the resulting shapes and sculptural formations over and over-endlessly-could be considered a form of spiritual practice to find personal enlightenment."
