A small dog relaxes on a burgundy sofa while a cat curls up asleep on an olive cushion. A touch of blue-gray woven into the warm ivory interior connects their two resting places in a natural, unhurried way. The piece captures a quiet moment at home — each animal at rest, yet sharing the same room. SERIES — AT HOME AT HOME is a series depicting the unassuming rhythms of life shared with cats and dogs: sleeping, waiting, eating, gazing out the window, or simply occupying the same space in their own ways. Each scene is held together by calm color fields — warm ivory, blue-gray, natural wood tones, and deep green — and brushwork that retains a gentle, textured quality. Rather than spotlighting the animals' cuteness alone, the series considers light, negative space, furniture, and fabric as part of a single, balanced interior composition — one that feels at ease on a wall. ABOUT RITSUKO NISHIMURA Ritsuko Nishimura makes work with close attention to how it feels when it is lived with in a room. Light, air, and quietness guide each composition. Even when depicting recognizable subjects, she resists overworking the surface — color fields, visible brushwork, and open space allow the image to settle naturally into everyday life. The ideas she long explored through the theme KINARI — soft light, atmosphere, and stillness — continue to flow through the work as part of her broader artistic approach.
