A sweep of navy-to-vivid-blue marks traces a broad S-curve across layered fields of white, gray, and black. Translucent washes of blue, deeper pools of pigment, fine lines, and scattered splatters are built up in layers, lending the monochrome ground a fluid, unbroken sense of motion. Navy-to-blue marks sweep in a broad S-curve across layered white, gray, and black fields. Translucent blues, deeper pools, fine lines, and splatters give the monochrome surface a fluid, continuous motion. SERIES — CURRENT CURRENT is a series built around the feeling of flow that emerges when a single line moves through overlapping fields of color. The first half centers on ivory, soft blue, blush, and beige, with traces of brown, black, and worn gold drawn across them. In the second half, the ground shifts to a monochrome range from white to black, and color moves into the line itself — green, red, gold, blue, and orange. The line is never drawn evenly: it thins, breaks off, gathers into pools, and crosses the surface on its own terms. Together, the ten works hold a quiet field while leaving just enough direction and motion within it. CURRENT is a series built around the sense of movement created when a single line passes through layered fields of color and texture. The first half uses ivory, pale blue, blush, and beige with traces of brown, black, and worn gold. In the second half, the ground shifts to monochrome while the line itself carries color—green, red, gold, blue, and orange. The line is never perfectly even; it thins, breaks, gathers, fades, and reappears as it crosses the surface. Together, the ten works hold a quiet field while leaving just enough direction and motion within it. ABOUT RITSUKO NISHIMURA Ritsuko Nishimura makes abstract and semi-abstract works with one guiding intention: that they feel good to live with. Rather than placing a strong statement in a room, her practice is built around balance — light, air, stillness, the breathing space of negative space (ma), and the relationship between color and mark. The work settles naturally into calm, hotel-inspired, and contemporary interiors, made to be looked at again and again over time. Ritsuko Nishimura creates abstract and semi-abstract works with a simple aim: to make a room feel good to live with. Rather than forcing a strong statement, her work focuses on balance—light, air, quiet space, color, and the physical character of each mark. The pieces are designed to sit naturally in calm, hotel-inspired and contemporary interiors, offering something that can be lived with and looked at over time.
