This artwork is inspired by Kawase Hasui's serene beauty and classical style. It depicts an autumn landscape in which a cyclist rides along a waterfront, with majestic mountains and a clear blue sky in the background. The vibrant orange tree leaves create a beautiful contrast with the blue tones of the mountains and water, evoking a sense of balance, harmony and natural splendour. Hasui's influence is evident in the delicate details and the way the colours blend together to create a calm and dreamy atmosphere.
The cyclist, rendered in a contemporary style, adds a dynamic element to the calm scene, creating a subtle combination between traditional Japanese landscape art and modern lifestyle. The tree with its fiery autumn colours embraces the landscape and enhances the warmth and vibrancy of the image. The result is a composition that combines the serenity of nature with a touch of adventure.
Modern woodcut style, clearly inspired by the traditional Japanese Ukiyo-e technique and the works of Kawase Hasui. This work combines traditional elements such as natural landscapes and atmospheric colours with a modern twist, through the addition of a cyclist and a bright, graphic aesthetic.
