Jun'ichiro Ishida 01 02   Jun'ichiro Ishida was born in Kobe, Japan. His painting is the hybrid of east and west, past and future. He believes that his art should promote the good side of human nature and challenges the notion of self serving, self important, self expressionistic art. He wants his piece to wake up his audience, who may be idling in the floating world instead of advancing to the next level of consciousness. His paintings are radiant energy captured on canvas in acrylic, alternating between delicate lines and splashes. The pieces to be shown at the Newark Open Studio were created with these techniques and concepts in mind during his recent residency at the Vermont Studio Center.
