Artists in conversation
Franz Kline
American · b. 1910
Kline's bold gestural brushwork in black and white shares the same calligraphic energy and expressive mark-making found in Shinoda's sumi ink composition, both evoking vast space through sweeping abstract strokes.
Yuichi Inoue
Japanese · b. 1916
Inoue worked with sumi ink in large scale abstract calligraphic compositions that push traditional Japanese brushwork into pure abstraction, directly paralleling Shinoda's fusion of Eastern materials with gestural abstract expression.
Wang Dongling
Chinese · b. 1945
Wang Dongling creates monumental ink works that dissolve traditional Chinese calligraphy into abstract fields of layered brushstrokes, sharing Shinoda's use of ink and gold accents to evoke expansive atmospheric space.
