About This Print
The twenty-eighth in a group of over fifty prints carrying the title "Op." (opus or "work"), followed by a number, created by Nonaka in the mid-1970s. This body of work employs curvilinear forms and pastel colors.
The artist notes, "I have been interested in color surfaces since I was a child, and my basic attitude is to create my own world with my own sensibility, which is different from minimal art and American abstract expressionism."1
