Inspire :: Tsutomu Komine

'A moonlit night underneath my eyelids'

from 'Sankai'

:::

~ Tsutomu Komine ~

Born in Tokyo, Japan, 1973.

In 1997,  he graduated from Tama Art University, Dept. of Oil Painting,

but often works in photography, sculpture, stitch, fiber & encaustic as well.

His mixed media collages (shown here) often contain

sea sand, acrylic paper, tako thread, and hemp string, amongst other things.

Currently, Komine continues producing works

while operating his cake & tea shop in Hitachi City.

There are loads of his images on Pinterest,

but no website and very little information found elsewhere

(with the exception of his gallery show announcements and what appears to be

a quite active Twitter account)

and   most everything about him/from him is written in Japanese ...

which unfortunately, I have no knowledge of.

So in our enjoyment of this work, many of us will have to be content

with his visual poetry instead.

Which suits me just fine.
