snow pallet 
sapporo art park, japan
on now until march 7th, 2012

japanese artist toshihiko shibuya has used the winter climate of hokkaido, japan to create 'snow pallet', an installation currently
on exhibit at sapporo art park. the long winters on the island bring lots of precipitation, covering the terrain in white.
to bring color to the landscape, shibuya has used iron disks painted in vivid colors. placing these saucers on different
height supports, the hues are mirrored off the snow at various intensities. the work is in a constant dialogue with nature
as the amount of snowfall, ice, and lighting conditions effect the quality of the reflection.

I have always been interested in snowscape installations. I think there is a lot more potential for it in winter countries. I want this on my front lawn!

I love Mr.Shibuya\'s installation. During I have enjoyed his works last 10-15 years, He have progressed without stopping and his works have been changed, for example, from 2D painting to 3D, from indoor to outdoor, and ofcause still changing. This coming beginning of Feburary, he will show his new works at Moere park, Sapporo, Hokkaido. I\'m looking forward seeing them.

P.S. The name of Photographer except top one \"kawamura fish production\" is not correct, but \"Nanami Kawamura\".
