japanese artists I'm looking at now.

By no means exhaustive. Inspiration comes from a great book called: Scream Aginst the Sky, Japanese Art after1945.
I see the non figurative, gestural quality in some of these artist/works. I also feel more free to explore some 'mysterious' traditions/forms that I can only intuite.....this moves me into a new dimension of understanding and history. I find the space more plastic/maleable/open/free.
