Takahiko Hayashi lives and works in Japan where he is a rising star. His etchings and pigment paintings are composed out of hundreds of detailed lines creating masterfully bold abstractions, often with vibrant color. His work is best described as abstract landscapes although it also reflects his interest in philosophy such as the writing of Lao-Tse.
