Rockland, Maine – Gallery Fukurou will re-open after temporarily closing due to the pandemic with an exhibit that celebrates nature.
Gallery Fukurou says it is honared to host an exhibit by Yohaku Yorozuya from September 8 to October 1. The show entitled Photosynthesis raises awareness about how valuable protecting nature is to our existence. Yohaku’s art black and white photographs, mostly taken in Maine, captivate with wonder.
Photosynthesis is a biological process that converts light energy into chemical energy. Then it is stored in organic compounds and metabolized through cellular respiration to fuel the organism’s activities. Without the process nothing would be able to live.
Yohaku visits Rockland yearly. His lifetime passion for photography led him to become an emanate Japanese photographic fine artist who was in charge of the photographic department at Nihon University in Tokyo. He is renowned for his use of classic darkroom techniques, spending days perfecting his images.
Photosynthesis II will open in the spring with art by Ramona Cornell du Houx.
