Description: Exhibition showing the most recent production of Hiroyuki Okumura, (Kanasawa, Japan, 1963, lives in works in Xalapa, Veracruz since 1989), whose artistic work "shares" a deep visual connection between the mysticism of the pre-Hispanic cultures and that of ancient Japan. "Stone is an essential element of his entire production. An important element, regardless of its size, stone is and signifies timeless, the memory of antiquity, the merger of the present and the past known or unknown. Even though it is not found in all his works, water is the other signature symbol of his proposal. Capable of turning into different states, water and its motion acquire -when coupled with the stone's reflecting light or darkness- a subtle material quality that wavers between change, permanency, actuality and fantasy." --Page 112
Notes: Published on the occasion of the exhibition "Memoria y sentido" held from Sept. - Dec. 2016 at the Museo Federico Silva in San Luis Potosí, México.
