“Nakamura’s oeuvre has given him lasting value as a Canadian artist…His life-long work originated from the complexity and depth of his intellectual and aesthetic sensibilities, and the way that he merged the concepts of mathematics, science and music accounts for the quiet force contained in his art.”

- Iris Nowell

Kazuo Nakamura was a founding member of Toronto’s Painters Eleven, known for his minimal and elegant works. In the mid-1950s, Nakamura began to paint works composed of delicate lines, such as the Block Structure and String series. Subtle, restrained and rigorously abstract, Central 1 follows these explorations, and Nakamura’s monochromatic soft grids and lines shimmer quietly across the surface. The artist looked deeply into science and the components of our material world. He stated, “Every developing phase and facet of science must produce some form of art. Atomic / molecular / cellular / inorganic and organic / mental and mechanical / planetary / solar system / galaxial / the universe.” Perhaps Nakamura’s shimmering lines are like radio waves picked up by instruments recording radio transmission – the background noise of the universe.
