Reflections of Japan, a solo exhibition by world-traveling British artist Emma Thompson-Chaplin, is on view at TomuraLee in Ginza, Tokyo, through December 23, 2023. While staying in Japan, she discovered a minimalist beauty and interest in the walls and tiles of buildings. The paintings, mostly in acrylic paint, conveyed the artist’s delight in discovery, and I was energized by the artist’s love of minimalism and digital technology.
