Description
Nobuo Kubota was born in Vancouver, BC of Japanese parents and educated as an architect at the University of Toronto. He is known not only as a visual artist but also as a musician and sound performer. Kubota's work is best described as unidisciplinary, not in the sense of any form of art, but in the sense of bringing together many forms of art into a single, coherent experience that often encompasses architecture, sound, and visuals. This installation, Hukusai Revisited , is remarkable in the simple and elegant reconstitution of the ever-changing dynamic of the natural and manufactured worlds. Long curves of pine slats are like waves and there is no predetermined end to their motion. Underlying change is the basic force of all life in the universe.Additional co-publisher: Kelowna Art Gallery. Additional Foreward contributors: Celeste Scopelites, Carl Lavoy, Dona Moore.
