Kobayashi Noriyuki / 小林範之, a contemporary Nihonga (Japanese-style) painter from Funabashi, Chiba Prefecture, Japan.
Working from the belief that one thread connects all life, Noriyuki Kobayashi forms his subject matter with thin gold lines that intersect to create a woven pattern full of life.
The geometrically sublime results are graceful landscapes and dynamically posed animals that race across the sky.
Kobayashi's utilization of traditional materials and techniques mixed with vibrant subjects celebrates the brilliance and interconnected nature of all living things.
