Keigo Nakamura (b.1984) expresses their conviction of what consists a meaningful life. The candle-lit shadow-cast composition seen in Nakamura's works are inspired and informed by the pious paintings by Georges de La Tour, a 17th century French Baroque painter, Caravaggist. Ornate Baroque frames often frame these compositions to signify “blessings for life”, according to Nakamura. The custom-designed frames are integral to the presentation, hand-fisnished and vintage-turned for each specific painting to be framed. The artist’s traditional approach to painting as an ode to what has been lost to the hustle and bustle of modern mundane.
