A cat seen from behind, sitting in a round gray bed and gazing out through sheer lace curtains. The piece is bathed in soft whites and pale blue-grays, while the greenery outside dissolves into a gentle blur — leaving space for the viewer to imagine what has drawn the cat's gaze. SERIES — AT HOME AT HOME is a series capturing the unhurried, everyday moments of living alongside cats and dogs: sleeping, waiting, eating, watching the world through a window. Each small scene — animals going about their own quiet business in a shared space — is rendered in calm color fields of warm ivory (kinari), blue-gray, natural wood, and deep green, with brushwork that retains a gentle, textured touch. Rather than foregrounding the animals' cuteness alone, the series treats light, negative space (ma), furniture, and fabric as equal parts of a single, balanced interior composition — something that feels at home on a wall. ABOUT RITSUKO NISHIMURA Ritsuko Nishimura makes art with close attention to how a piece feels when it is lived with in a room. Light, air, and quietness guide each composition. Even when working from recognizable subjects, she resists overworking the image — color fields, visible brushwork, and open space allow the work to settle naturally into everyday life. The ideas she long explored under the theme KINARI — soft light, a sense of atmosphere, and stillness — continue to flow through her work as a core thread of her creative practice.
