The Dance of Euphoric Colors and the Creation of Space
Director of the art magazine “Univers des Arts”
Patrice de la Perriere
When Yumi Enomoto came across alcohol-ink as an art form, she felt that she received a revelation from space. Yes, space indeed. However, it is not a physical image limited to the two dimensions of a work of art, but a multi-layered universe named infinity that draws you in.
Her ability to express the reality of another world that transcends the world of mankind as a human being in flesh is a gifted quality that every artist dreams of possessing. With the vigorous brushwork of an artist, she depicts miracles of impeccable beauty that emerges suddenly from the deep, infinite darkness. The way her vision as an artist expands, bursts, and cumulates resembles the moment a galaxy is born from a giant volatile cloud. And when she releases her exquisitely balanced brushstrokes, as great as structures of the past, the mysterious shimmering colors, lights, and materials all collide, and before long, her work unfolds before the viewer in a cosmic dance.
The talent in this artist’s hands seems to effortlessly breathe life into an innocent and beautiful form. By creating a perfect form that is stripped of all extraneous elements, the beauty of her work never loses rationality, and its message and harmony become all the more solid. Without the sublimation of a creator’s soul, it would be impossible to erase the presence of a work of art in this way. It is as if Demiurge, the creator of the universe in Plato’s Timaeus, had soon given up the universe he had created in the name of freedom.
A work of such outstanding dimension is as difficult to obtain and as precious as a meteorite that fell from a distant planet. However, contrary to the immovable mineral known as a gemstone, the mental landscapes depicted by Yumi Enomoto never stop moving, living, and dancing to the soundless rhythm.
What one can glimpse in her art – in the eyes of the beholder – would be nothing other than her brushwork, ceaselessly devising the fundamental human elements of “ink, alcohol, and the love of beauty”.
