MOVING AS ONE

Explore one of humanity's most elemental needs: connection.
Woodblock printing is a traditional, East Asian relief printing technique where an artist carves an image into the surface of a block of wood. Woodblocks use primarily water-based pigments and hand pressure in transferring the design.

Moving As One brings together a selection of Tetsuo Aoki's woodblock prints that trace the tender, sometimes fleeting moments of modern human encounters. Aoki's graphic style is built on clear, bold shapes with an economy of shadow. His figures, rendered through the tactile labor of the woodblock, repeat and echo across the picture plan to serve as a reminder that no gesture, no crossing of paths, belongs to just one person.

The vibrant, expressive forms in Aoki's prints pulse with the joy of proximity. Whether figures are moving together or drifting past one another, they share a visual language which suggests that beneath our individual trajectories, we are made of common stuff. His use of repetition is not mere pattern, it is argument. We recur in one another. We rhyme.

Tetsuo Aoki

Tetsuo Aoki was born in 1940 in Fujieda, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan and currently lives and works in Fujieda. In 1964 he earned his BFA from Shizuoka University, Shizuoka, Japan. He is a member of Kokugakai, an arts society founded around the ideas of “free creation” and celebrating individual styles across generations. Aoki describes the theme of his artwork as “to express the pleasure, the deepness and the importance of touch... The original world of woodblock with Japanese paper (Washi) and Chinese ink (Sumi) is my basis.” His work has been featured in exhibitions and collections in Japan, Australia, Israel, China, the United States, Bulgaria, and the Czech Republic.
