Artist Research: Nobuhiro Nakanishi

Nobuhiro Nakanishi is a Japanese sculpture and instillation artist, born in 1976. A lot of his works conceive of what he calls "layered drawings", where there are stacks upon stacks of clear acrylic panels. Nakanishi most commonly photographs forest scenery, sunsets, and landscapes over a set of time. Then he prints the photos onto the panels. He then stacks the dozens of printed panels onto a wall and arranges them chronologically. I really enjoy the 3d effect this gives, as if I'm looking through a window into 3 dimensional space.

Artist Statement:
"I attempt to depict time and space as sensations shared by both viewer and artist.”
