Ando Shinji

Artist Statement

Ando Shinji concentrates on color etchings of images in nature--florals, plans, fruits and insects-- which are presented with great sensitivity of line and color.  He uses an intricate, flowing pattern of line and a delicate color palette of harmonizing shades.  His images often emanate out of soft shadows into subdued light, giving them a sense of wonder, as if seen unexpectedly in their inherent beauty.
