Untitled, (2749)

Suggestive of eternity and yet a moment, the encaustic seascapes of Hiro Yokose are miraculous forays into the tender fleeting moments of time; distilled time evoked only by the barest essences of fact - trees, land, sky, water and light. Always as much a poet as a painter, Yokose obliterates the explicit imagery in his work through layers of wax and oil that translate into mist and his trademark evanescent, hovering light. It is this light that is so gripping; neither dawn nor dusk but both, it is the light of the beginning as well as of the end.
