FIRST STREET GALLERY is pleased to announce Japanese artist Keiko Niimura’s debut solo exhibition in New York City, “Resonating in Harmony with Nature and Japanese Culture.” Keiko Niimura draws inspiration from her culture’s deep-rooted connection to nature. Her paintings incorporate both abstraction and realism, as forest animals emerge within vivid color schemes and quilted landscapes, sewing harmonious compositions together. Niimura’s methodology is integral to the effervescent landscapes she creates; figurative painting renders flora and fauna, geometric shapes form abstracted horizons, and traditional calligraphic techniques evoke a rhythmic flow, all intersecting to compose dreamlike and mystical worlds. The vitality of the forest ebbs and flows through her work, inviting viewers into a quiet, instinctive sense of unity with the natural world.
