Yoshihiko Ueda: QUINAULT
Past exhibition
Works
Overview
The images Yoshihiko Ueda created are potent with the seductive otherworldliness and glowing dampness of the wet terrain. Deep, dark greens and blues reflect the intensity of Ueda’s time in the forest and the spiritual connection he had with Quinault.
“The brushwood wheezed, the moss shown an impossibly phosphorescent green that seemed to radiate from everywhere over the mammoth trees that strained heavenward. A manifold of living colors interfused, saturated with rain and light. I had discovered a realm of primordial chaos; I was witness to what was not for human eyes to see. To be sure, as I gazed through the viewfinder of the darkened box, I was shaking. I was overjoyed at my experiencing such keen excitement and apprehension yet anew. My hand, wet with rain as I tripped the shutter release, seemed to tremble slightly. This time, I whispered a few brief words of thanks to the spirits of the forest.”
