Barren seascapes, abandoned fishing nets, fragmented piers,
mysterious horizons, trees emerging from under snow drifts – these
are just some of the images which dominate Michael Kenna’s work
from Japan. The result of his newest effort can be seen in his second
book on Japan, Hokkaido, published by Nazraeli [September 2006].
With more than twenty books published on his work, Michael Kenna shows no signs of slowing down in his endless pursuit of nature’s haunting beauty. Whether working in his native England, Easter Island in the South Pacific, the coastal towns of France or the islands in Japan, Kenna seeks places of solitude which speak volumes about humanity. His newest book, Hokkaido, continues his passion for Japan. As stated by Nazraeli "The Northern Japanese island of Hokkaido has abundant natural forests, clear lakes, and magnificent mountains. It is perhaps best known for its intense and brutal winters. Snow and ice make many parts of the island inaccessible and the local Sea of Okhotsk routinely freezes over. Kenna has been photographing throughout Hokkaido, in these extreme conditions, for the past several years." "Michael Kenna: Hokkaido/New Work" brings together more than 40 pieces from Japan, as well as new work from China and India. |
