The Secret Place-Yasuko Hayashi
by Metra Lin
2010

Introduction

48 heartfelt visions of the inner world… a fleeting encounter of the soul, revealing the essence of all things. Japanese artist Yasuko Hayashi can be regarded as one of the leading figures of contemporary Japanese aesthetics. Her works evoke a sense of profound stillness and an ineffable mystery. Beyond the dense textures and layered atmospheres of her paintings, viewers find themselves longing for the hidden realms within. The worlds she creates on canvas grasp the heart of the beholder, and with exceptional mastery she elevates them into a universal yet richly expansive landscape of the spirit.
