A closer look at the work

A large dark curve crosses the foreground and frames the distant city. Pylons and low buildings stand beneath it, with a slender tower rising into warm-grey sky farther back. The curve is blurred and partly cropped, making its exact function less clear than the opening it provides.

Tokyo Skyline 1 replaces an unobstructed overview with a view beneath a nearby obstacle. The city appears as a spatially limited sight rather than a complete whole. A distant tower gives orientation while the foreground form emphasises position. The photograph shows how every outlook depends on a viewpoint and on objects that are not necessarily its principal subject.

Personal consultation

The work, the space, the presentation.

What interests you about this work? I take time for your questions, its origins and its place in a collection. Together, we explore differences between works and their relationship with space, light and architecture.

Size, selected materials and bespoke framing are carefully coordinated. The precise presentation develops through our conversation.

A photograph of the intended space can help us consider scale and placement.
