All artists, even the most widely admired, can attest that capturing the essence of your subject is rarely done with ease. Whether you’re a painter, photographer, poet, or musician, knowing how to tell a story, be it of a moment or a lifetime, through your art is a skill that takes both time and practice to hone.
Many accomplished artists on Okinawa have dedicated their lives to capturing the essence of their subjects through their various mediums. Ichiro Kikuta is one such artist.
During May the Foster Library will showcase the artwork of Kikuta-san. For the past 25 years, Kikuta-san has traveled from Hokkaido to the Ryukyu Islands, sketching and painting the magnificent natural beauty of Japan’s wildlife and landscapes. Kikuta-san’s artwork exemplifies the spirit of nature in a way that is both subtle and powerful.
The Foster Library is open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 9 am. to 7 p.m. on Fridays; and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. Art Connections shows are
FREE.
