Above, detail

Shiro Kasamatsu - Born in Tokyo, Shiro began studying art at a young age with the painter Kaburagi Kiyokata. He completed his first woodblock designs for Watanabe Shozaburo in 1919 after the publisher saw his paintings on exhibit. Shiro designed shin-hanga prints for Watanabe for many years, becoming well known for his romantic landscapes of famous landmarks and his scenes of traditional Japanese life. From 1952 to 1960, he created more than one hundred woodblock designs for the Kyoto publisher Unsodo. He also experimented with sosaku hanga or creative prints starting in the late 1950s, carving and printing his own designs. Shiro is regarded as one of the top shin-hanga woodblock print artists in Japan.

'.... [He was] inspired to create a series of London images to mark how the city was changing as the Millennium approached. “The Millennium Dome was being built, Bankside was converted to Tate Modern… I wanted to capture that moment,” he recalls....

“Paul’s work resonates with anyone with a love of architecture, and his own passions translate with a simplicity of form that belies the immense work that each piece requires. In many ways Paul is the master of ‘less is more’.”

Above, Trellick Blue IV

Drawing on the best traditions of classic midcentury poster design Paul utilises his expert eye for composition and colour to inject his prints with fresh energy, dragging old icons kicking and screaming into the 21st century and imbuing new buildings with a nostalgic edge.

Paul’s work was spotted by Transport for London’s poster art commissioner Michael Walton, who remembers being “electrified” by a flyer for one of those exhibitions.

"The year 2024 was an opportunity to see boreal aurora at low latitudes, the consequences of multiple coronal mass ejections.

I would lie if I said that this is what inspired this engraving because I started it in 2023 but these events considerably oriented its composition. inspired by astrophysics and science fiction, this engraving has the central theme of the sun and the stars in general. There we find, through a series of scientific and symbolic vignettes, representations of stellar nucleosynthesis, atomic diagrams, elements relating to plasma, accretion disks, magnetic fields and, the finality of these processes, radiation.

One vignette features the proton-proton chain, a series of nuclear fusion reactions that power the hearts of stars, transforming hydrogen into helium and releasing colossal energy in the form of light and heat. This fusion is the primary source of energy for main-sequence stars, like our own Sun.

At the center of the work, the symbol of the element hydrogen (H), the most abundant atom in the universe, reminds us that this primordial element is the building block of stars and galaxies. The diagram of the hydrogen atom, with its single electron orbiting the nucleus, symbolizes the elegant simplicity underlying the complex phenomena of astrophysics.

The engraving also includes illustrations of atomic structure and energy levels, evoking the electronic transitions that produce the light spectra observed by astronomers. These spectra are essential for determining the chemical composition, temperature, density and motion of celestial objects.

“Radiant” is a window into a different dimension of cosmic physics, evoking both the beauty and complexity of astrophysical phenomena. The use of clean lines and technical symbols creates a dialogue between art and science, inviting one to delve into the depths of the cosmic unknown.

This print is a celebration of human curiosity and our endless quest to understand the universe around us."

About 24 hours of engraving to about 1 hour. from the beginning to the final cleaning. the plate is mounted on a wooden board. I'm waiting for my order of ink and paper for early August. This will be printed around August
