'nude #2', 2012 by shinichi maruyama
japanese photographer shinichi maruyama is well known for his colliding liquid photography - immortalizing moments split seconds before
they are lost to gravity. in his latest body of work, 'nude', maruyama continues his exploration of movement through photography -
re-envisioning the language of traditional nude artwork and combining this with a reference to time.
the abstract striding limbs create almost painterly strokes across a hidden canvas - a sweep of flesh filling space.
the conceptual artistic interrogation reminds one of the beauty of the human body, not through form,
but through the ethereal capacity of human motion - reminding one of the power of dance, theatre and gesture.

Absolutely stunning- it turns a static art form into something else- the sense of movement that tranforms into an almost sculptural quality, which I realize is also static, but this work somehow reflects on movement for me in an ethereal way
wow.bravoo.loved it
The movement reminds me of the futurists. Really amazing images!
Beautiful images, but without Loie Fuller, dancer at the end of XIX century, he wouln’t have the idea!
