A dog in a blue striped shirt leans toward a yellow bowl while a cat watches from just behind. The overhead viewpoint and broad fields of ivory and natural wood turn an ordinary mealtime moment into a simple, lively composition. SERIES — AT HOME AT HOME is a series depicting the unhurried, everyday moments of life shared with cats and dogs. Sleeping, waiting, eating, gazing out the window — small, quiet scenes of two animals living side by side in the same space. Each piece is built around calm color fields of warm ivory, blue-gray, natural wood, and deep green, brought together with brushwork that retains a gentle, unpolished texture. Rather than foregrounding the cuteness of the animals alone, the series considers everything together — the light in the room, the open space, the colors of furniture and fabric — so that each work feels at ease as a piece of interior art. ABOUT RITSUKO NISHIMURA Ritsuko Nishimura makes art with particular 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 — leaving room for color fields, visible brushwork, and breathing space so that the work settles naturally into everyday life. The ideas she long held under the theme KINARI — soft light, a sense of atmosphere, and stillness — continue to run through her work as one of the threads at the heart of her practice.
