In Imagekind’s gallery lies a beautiful floral print with a delicate, swooping bird by the famous Asian artist, Ando Hiroshige, one of the last great masters of the art of ukiyo-e. Hiroshige created many wonderful prints with the technique of woodblock printmaking and his picture, tastefully framed, would look beautiful in almost any setting. Ito Shinsui, another of Asia’s renowned artists, also created art using the woodblock method and one of his most influential and well regarded pieces, listed as “Facing the Mirror” on the site, is meditative and introspective, as the young woman in the picture is intently contemplating an image in a mirror off in some unknown distance.

Some of the lesser known Asian art for sale within the galleries of Imagekind, is also the most interesting because these more modern artists bring to the world of Asian art a new feel and new ideas from their own lives and cultures. One such painting, entitled “tree (winter)”, by Amie Gillingham, shows precisely a modern artist’s wish to take an older technique or idea and mold it, still holding true to its original form, to fit their own personality; Gillingham’s painting is modeled after the ukiyo-e style in Japanese art.

Dominique Landau’s photographs combine abstract elements and black and white color schemes with the ancient Asian tradition of calligraphy writing. Asian art commonly incorporated symbols and proverbs, traditionally, and “Wall 20", for example, does just that in deep red slashed brushstrokes against the tattered background wall.
