Ippodo Gallery is pleased to present the premier exhibition for Japanese painter Ikuro Yagi: Grand Nature in the United States where more than ten painted and collaged works on Japanese washi paper, wood panels, and canvas speak to a universal language of nature and city life in Japan. Through the visual medium of sumi ink and nihonga, Yagi’s paintings permeate with the unspoken healing effect of nature on the human soul; a gentle reminder that endless kindness is at the fingertips.
