KEIICHI NISHIMURA - mixed media paintings on silk


After a long and distinguished career Mr. Nishimura has decided to retire and offer his remaining paintings at a 50% discount. This special sale will be on until year’s end.


Keiichi Nishimura’s work is a modern interpretation of traditional Japanese imagery and techniques. He understands deeply both the discipline of his Eastern culture and the freedom of Western expression, a combination he strives to integrate into his work.

Nishimura is known for his unique approach to wave imagery and his use of gold and silver leaf within each of his original, one-of-a-kind paintings on silk.

Nishimura uses water based pigments derived from suihigofun (a mineral), which the artist grinds to a finer consistency and then mixes with a delicate balance of nikawa (melted pine sap). The nikawa is what gives the pigment its deep rich color and also enables it to adhere to the silk. 

Variances in color and tone are created by hand with wide brushes. The artist often incorporates gold, silver, and/or copper leaf, and uses a color resistant technique using flour or sand, sumi ink, and other techniques all in a single work.  

Now a resident of Whidbey Island, Nishimura was born in Kyoto, Japan, where he began his training as an artist in 1976 under the apprenticeship of his father, Jintaro Nishimura, a master artist for more than half a century.
