Lunn Galerie presents Takeshi Shikama : Shadow Memories at the Galerie Da-End in Paris. "We find beauty not in the thing itself but in patterns of shadows, the light and the darkness, that one thing against another creates. Like a phosphorescent stone, which, when in darkness, shines, but when exposed to the light, loses its fascination as a precious stone, beauty loses its existence if one removes the effects of…

It sparkles and shines; it absorbs light, and it casts light back with a unique, effusive clarity. Water is omnipresent. On the microscopic scale it finds its way everywhere, dissolving and diluting, breaking nutrients down and conducting them onwards to feed the cells of plants and animals. This elemental blend of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen serves as home for countless species of organisms, ranging from the largest…
