Lumina at Luhring Augustine – New!
Ritsue Mishima’s sculptures arise from an intuitive knowledge of the medium’s reactive qualities, their dynamism translating through ever evolving biomorphic forms and a fluid sense of movement. Her sculptures are exquisite both in their textural details and subtle refractions, with light or luminance being at the heart of her virtuosic practice.
