Base Gallery is pleased to announce a solo exhibition featuring new works by Toshimitsu Baba.

The landscapes portrayed in his works remain anonymous. Nonetheless, they somehow seem to find a place of profound silence. Baba, by repeatedly putting a subtle touch of oil on the aluminum panel board and keeping everything flat and serene, forces back not only unneeded light but also glaze so as to thoroughly clear away all the hustle and bustle. He creates sedate landscapes with slight harmonic variations in a limited range of basic hues. Despite the fact that each piece undergoes a process of abstraction, the resultant image is elaborated to a point where it achieves a sense of realism.

This is Baba's first solo exhibition at Base Gallery.
