I
haven't been writing or painting for quite some time now. It's been almost two
months since my last blog. I've been quite busy in the past few days. Or maybe
am I just pretending to be busy in my life? Well, honestly, I wasn't that
busy... I guess I just don't have enough inspiration to write or paint
something lately.
That's
why I abandoned my comfort crib for a while and journeyed to the city to be
inspired by “Innocent World”. It is a solo exhibition by a Japanese Painter
Tomoyuki Kambe. The exhibition features various aspects of traditional Japanese
painting styles that depicts the artist’s observation “that the big world is
made of many tiny elements and living things around us”. The artist combines
traditional art medium with modern technique to create art pieces that
illuminate on the philosophy of seeing a world in a grain of sand. This is
really evident on his latest and exquisite paintings displayed at Japan
Creative Centre during the exhibition.

Impressive representation of nature... the pebbles, small animals, and tiny plants... Very detailed work of art |

In
this big big world, it's the small thing that makes it more interesting. Now, I'm inspired.
