ASOMA, Tadishi
Tadashi
Asoma was born in Japan in 1923.
Received his education at Saitama Teachers College, Urawa, the Bijitsu Gakko,
Tokyo; Grand Chaumiere, Paris.
In 1958 he was the recipient of a Japanese Government scholarship to study
in Paris.
He first exhibited in the United States in 1961 at the Japan Society in New
York and San Francisco.
And was so intrigued with contemporary American art that he decided to settle
in the United States.
Thereafter, the fusion of tri-cultural influences became apparent in his work.
With an insatiable curiosity for color, Asoma's current work, reveals adept
portrayal of the changes of the seasons.
His sudden bursts of pure, brilliant color printed with splendid differences
of touch and tone are hallmarks of his style.
His radiantly conceived landscape images, with their lightly feathered textures,
translate admirably to the glory and jubilant majesty of nature.
