Nakamura’s work has been exhibited throughout Canada
since 1950 and internationally since 1956 and in late 2004 he
was the subject of a solo exhibition at the Art
Gallery of Ontario in Toronto.
Nakamura was a member of Painters-Eleven and
was a member of the Canadian Society of Painters
in Water Colour.
The work displayed here is a good example of Nakamura’s
preferred motif which combines the typically incompatible elements
of still-life, landscape and geometry. Painted in oils on canvas,
the picture’s style is somewhat reminiscent of Japanese
woodcuts. Nakamura has described his mural as a “Landscape
vision based on spherical horizon, which was brought about by
man’s expanding observation of space.”
