Description:
AD))): "In this rectangular print, Kimura Risaburo creates an abstract representation of a bustling urban landscape. It comprises many small, colorful, three-dimensional rectangular shapes that sprout from the bottom, top, and right sides of the artwork, arranged against a turquoise background. The rectangles resemble tiny buildings or skyscrapers and are rendered in a vibrant array of colors, including pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and so on, oriented at various angles. (Shinsaku Kataoka '26)
