In Takamatsu-san's art,
of paper sliding doors,
his creased weighted shadows,
smudged halos, shards of light,
echo a forgotten truth
in fiction, in restraint,
in quiet play, in incensed paint. - Drenched Co
Comment: "Takamatsu's art reminded me of shadows and halos and sharp bright lines of pale colored light in houses with 'fusuma' - paper partitions and sliding doors. His work has the wonderful quiet restraint without its tongue stapled to its heart that queries some unsettling deep seated questions about art and reality."- JayZee
