The fragile beauty of nature in all its color and vibrancy is the true subject of Tadashi Asoma's paintings and prints. With an artist's rare sensitivity to color and pattern, Asoma shows us the beauty of simple natural phenomena which we might not notice ourselves - a radiant patch of early autumn foliage, a vibrant cascade of falling leaves, glistening reflections in a still pond.
Born in Japan, Asoma was awarded a Japanese Government scholarship to study in Paris in 1956. His interest in impressionism and Post-Impressionists experiments with color and use of pattern, design and graphic abstraction profoundly influenced the young Japanese artist. Three years later during a visit to the United States, Asoma became intrigued with American contemporary art and decided to settle here permanently with his family.
Asoma's successful career as a painter and printmaker spans four decades. Today he continues to integrate Japanese aesthetic sensitivity with images of the American countryside. The broad appeal of his exquisitely colored landscapes constantly delights and attracts new collectors just as it did during Asoma's first exhibit in Tokyo in 1952.
