For Katsuhito Nishikawa (b. 1949), nature—its laws and its structure—is the supreme teacher to whom humans must submit and adapt through art. Nature sets the standards that every person must rediscover; it provides the orientation toward which all design must be directed. Nishikawa finds symbols and creates spaces that, despite the diversity of their manifestations, are nothing more and nothing less than the synthesis of elementary principles of life. They establish well-considered and intuitively developed parameters that are extremely reduced in form yet equally complex in meaning. That is why volume, why shadow, is no less important than the sculptural-spatial form itself. In its luminous purity and clarity, Katsuhito Nishikawa’s work compels silence and concentration, causing us to suddenly forget the world around us, pushing all trivialities aside to inspire contemplation and reflection all the more freely and with greater inspiration.
