Exhibition: Art Inspired by Nature
11am to 4pm
Thomson's Tower, FREE ENTRY
We are four artists working in three different media: painting, printmaking and photography. In this exhibition we hope you will enjoy seeing how our shared interest in the natural world is expressed in a variety of ways.
EIKO YAMASHITA is a printmaker and painter based in Edinburgh. She graduated with MA Fine Art from Wimbledon College of Arts in 2002 and moved to Scotland the following year.
Her recent works are about nature and nature worship, inspired by Hokusai and other 18-19th century Japanese artists who depicted hills, lakes and woods as objects of worship. These ideas are from Japanese Shinto, animism which deeply influenced Japanese culture and philosophy. Another theme is gravity. She has been creating prints and paintings of the human body in air and water, symbolizing the conflicted feelings of restraint & stability, freedom & uncertainty, anxiety & healing.
She is a member of Edinburgh Printmakers and Society of Scottish Artists.
KOMACHI GOTO is an artist whose work blends diverse cultural influences. She studied at City & Guilds Art School, Slade School of Fine Art (BA Hons), and Glasgow School of Art (MFA).
Komachi has exhibited mainly in Edinburgh and London, including The Mall Gallery and the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. She has received awards such as Best Drawing & 1st Prize at the East Linton Art Competition and the ING DE Drawing Bursary.
As co-founder of A New Primer collective, she organizes open-call exhibitions in Edinburgh. She has undertaken residencies in Sapporo, Edinburgh's Anatomical Museum, and Thailand, exploring earthen building and natural pigments.
PATRICK POON takes a daily walk with his camera in Edinburgh’s green spaces and coastline. He is sometimes lucky enough to capture the extraordinary amongst the ordinary. He takes pleasure in sharing these serendipitous images.
HARRY MAFUJI lives in Edinburgh and his paintings are inspired by the history, culture and nature that fill the city and its surroundings. He studied at Middlesex University (BA Fine Art), Chelsea Art College (MA), and Edinburgh University (MSc Art History).
While a student in London he established the Mafuji Gallery, a venue for contemporary artists to gain experience in exhibiting their work – and part of his search for the meaning of art. He has been invited to exhibit at the Ishikawa International Salon in Kanazawa City, Japan, March 2026.
