A master of "bokashi" (shading), the most difficult technique in the medium of silkscreen, Sawada inked and self-printed all of his own prints. The results are always striking and harmonious contrasts of high gloss and matte colors of great depth and beauty.
Often referred to as "the skyscape artist," the work of Tetsuro Sawada (Japan, 1935 - 1999) is held in numerous public collections, including the Cleveland Museum of Art; British Museum; Cincinnati Art Museum; Honolulu Academy of Art, Honolulu, and the Queensland Art Museum, Australia, as well as many prestigious private and corporate collections.
