Yu Nishimura\u2019s studio is in Yokosuka, a two-hour train ride south of Tokyo. Not dissimilar from Monaco, Yokosuka is surrounded by the sea on one side and numerous hills on the other. Both urban and natural landscape, clinging onto the cliffs, get reflected onto the sea. The contrast between the warmth of the sun and the cool December air creates a specific sort of haze, a unique type of light. Unlike the dazzling and contrasted summer light, the winter sun allows for subtle nuances.\r\n\r\nWith the show <em>Yu Nishimura<\/em> <em>December Light<\/em>, the artist seeks to capture on canvas moments of everyday life and atmospheres that are characterized by nameless emotions. In doing so the artist introduces a wider reflection on painting as a tool for non-verbal communication, where the exploration of color becomes an emotional gradient encompassing joy, anger, sadness, or pleasure.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES<\/strong>\r\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\r\n<div class=\"section\">\r\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\r\n<div class=\"column\">\r\n\r\n<strong>Yu Nishimura<\/strong> was born in 1982 in Kanagawa (JP) where he lives.
