Eisuke Higuchi

theme peat bog

When the artist saw news about well-preserved ancient human and animal mummies discovered in peat bogs or glaciers in Europe, he was deeply impressed. Since then, he has used 'glacier' and 'peat bog' as titles for his series. 'Peat bog' is painted with great tones and earth colors, imagining peat, while 'glacier' is painted with great tones, imagining ice by removing paint.
