We
are pleased to present returning photographer
Yuichi Takasaka’s second exhibition, Fires
In the North, at Art Beatus (Vancouver). Stunning
and ethereal, Takasaka's photographs of the
Aurora Borealis capture the sublime beauty of
these mysterious visitors of the north.
Although the northern lights
has been studied and can now be explained in
scientific terms – produced by photons released
from charged nitrogen and oxygen atoms originating
from solar wind that have been directed toward
Earth’s poles via Earth’s magnetic field – one
cannot escape the feeling of awe that is inspired
by this phenomenon. According to Takasaka, “My
love of colours in nature led me to my love affair
with the Aurora Borealis…These Lights became a
part of my life.”Sublime is the name given to what is absolutely great … what is beyond all comparison great.¹
In the visual arts, the idea of the sublime has traditionally been used to describe landscape or seascape paintings such as those by Casper David Friedrich or J.M.W. Turner. Although Takasaka’s photographs take place in the northern Canadian landscape, the predominant sublime element here is not the vast and remote arctic landscape but it is the vibrant, elusive and ghostly Aurora Borealis that invokes feelings of awe, greatness and boundlessness in these images.Born in 1968 in Japan, Yuichi Takasaka immigrated to Canada in his teens when his interest in photography began to develop. He settled in Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories for seven years before moving to Lumby, British Columbia where he currently resides. He still returns every year to Yellowknife to lead photographic tours where he continues to photograph his beloved Aurora Borealis.
Takasaka has exhibited his beautiful and technically proficient photographs around the world and his work has appeared in various magazines, newspapers, books, textbooks, films, CD-ROMs and DVDs, and internet websites including NASA and National Geographic. In 2007, Takasaka was also the recipient of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Award from BBC Wildlife Magazine.
