Educated in several different genres of lacquer painting, traditional
Japanese painting and western painting, Toshiyuki Enoki's works
are an amalgamation of the new and the aged, reality and myth.
The artist strives to antiquate his works, not only in his thematic
tribute to well known traditional artists such as Maruyama Okyo,
but also in his artistic process. Using particularly worn brushes,
Enoki cyclically paints, erases and transfers images in his works to
create a unique atmospheric depiction of nature. As can be seen
here, the details of brushstrokes and overall reflective surface are
reminiscent of lacquer works which served as an inspiration to the
artist.
