Central Park prints

Katsutoshi Yuasa

Woodcut Print on wood panel

Edition of 15

The reference photo taken by Taka Matsuura

Woodcut artist Katsutoshi Yuasa carved a print based on a monochrome landscape photograph of Central Park and printed light and shade in shades of ink.

The root of SMP GALLERY is Manhattan, NYC, USA, in 1986.
Surrounded by skyscrapers in the city's center, Central Park is an oasis where New Yorkers can forget the hustle and bustle of the city. It exists as a symbol of a place of relaxation for people visiting from all over the world.

It is a delicate and beautiful work that captures the moment of fluctuation in the deep green of trees and the sunlight filtering through the trees, carved with a woodblock print and then printing light and shade in ink gradations like an ink painting.
