The painter Miwa Ogasawara's pictures are sparsely populated, almost ghostly images of figures and interiors, which (despite their muted coloring) quietly leak out light. Drawing on--and countering--a tradition of Japanese shadow aesthetics, Ogasawara gives only the most minimal visual clues, which lends the paintings a simultaneous clarity and obscurity.
