A single line — tracing from olive to deep green — passes through layered monochrome fields that range from white to black. The line thins, gathers weight, and sweeps into a wide curve, giving the quiet ground the feeling of a moment of redirection. A single olive-to-deep-green trace moves across layered monochrome fields. The line narrows, gathers, and curves through the surface, creating the feeling of a quiet change in direction. SERIES — CURRENT CURRENT is a series built around the sense of flow that emerges when a single line passes through overlapping fields of color. The first half of the series centers on ivory, pale blue, blush, and beige, layered with traces of brown, black, and worn gold. In the second half, the ground shifts to monochrome — white through to black — while the line itself becomes the carrier of color: green, red, gold, blue, and orange. The line is never drawn evenly; it thins, breaks, gathers, and moves across the surface with quiet irregularity. Together, the ten works hold a still field while leaving just a trace of 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 paintings with a straightforward intention: to make a room feel good to live in. Rather than placing a strong statement, her work prioritizes balance — the breathing space where light, air, and quiet can be felt alongside color and the physical character of each mark. The pieces settle naturally into calm, hotel-like interiors and understated everyday spaces, made to be lived with and returned to over time.
