Tikashi Fukushima (Fukushima Japão 1920 - São Paulo SP 2001)
Tikashi Fukushima was a painter and printmaker. He arrived in Brazil in 1940 and initially lived in the cities of Pompeia and Lins, in the interior of São Paulo. In 1946, he moved to Rio de Janeiro, where he worked as an assistant to the painter Tadashi Kaminagai (1899–1982), of whom he also became a student. Between 1947 and 1948, he audited classes at the Escola Nacional de Belas Artes (Enba). In 1949, he moved to São Paulo and set up a framing workshop on Largo Guanabara in the Paraíso neighborhood, which became a meeting place for like-minded artists who, in 1950, formed the Guanabara Group.
During this period, he was also a member of the Seibi Group. Between 1977 and 1990, he was president of the Visual Arts Commission of the Sociedade Brasileira de Cultura Japonesa. In 1979, he joined the Arts Commission of the Fundação Brasil-Japão de Artes Plásticas. In 2001, the Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo (Pesp) held a retrospective exhibition of his work.
Critiques
"When Fukushima arrived in Brazil and began studying painting with Tadashi Kaminagai in Rio de Janeiro, he had already chosen the landscape as his medium of expression. Like many of his compatriots, he brought the land, the trees and the mountains in his memory to express them in painting—initially as an impressionist, following the trend of the time, and later succumbing to what would become his informal trajectory, abstracting thematic elements. Fukushima has the systematic method of attentive discipline, which is the Japanese technique in art, industry, and various other areas. It is a mandatory tendency of evolution in the active sense of modernity. Thus, he joins Tachisme, but retains a literary poetry in gestures and colors, insinuating fields, mountains, winds, and climates with gestural brushstrokes, without geometric forms, tending toward diffuse informality. Fukushima uses textures, thus giving volumes of light and dark, shading the patch, creating effects in a valorizing alternation. The planes are not planes, they are tonal passages, and the line, when it appears, is merely an effect of the brush's limits, or even the consequence of the fluidity of the paint that the artist deliberately allows to flow. The colors are intensely poetic, addressing the severity of the environment and softening the result in themes such as Anoitecer na Montanha [Nightfall on the Mountain], Vento e Mar [Wind and Sea], Sonho [Dream] and Suave Sensação [Gentle Sensation], among others. These are states of mind that he does not comment on, but expresses with such mastery that it convinces us that the material exposed there is not just oil paste and pigments, but melodic notes for our eyes. An astonishing serenity and the fierce silence that embraces his pictorial surface. Today, in full maturity, Fukushima feels fulfilled as an artist. First, for making the evolution of his work an admired and respected school in Brazil and abroad, then, as a human being for being able to express all his feelings through brushes charged with the emotions of the colors of his palette".

"From landscapes and rows of houses, to still lifes, portraits, and urban and suburban scenes, the painter traversed an extensive trajectory, until he achieved the superior lyrical-poetic informalism that would place him in the select group of artists truly knowledgeable in the craft. In the sketched drawings and the first oil sketches from the mid-1940s, one can glimpse traces of a sensitive artist intent on imposing his art. There are precious details that can be observed here and there, without concessions. He knew how, working with diligence and perseverance, to translate to paper, wood, and canvas the inner power that dominated him. For several years (from 1946 to 1960) he was involved in figurative art, when he founded the Guanabara Group in São Paulo, in the Paraíso neighborhood, which brought together artists already fully familiar with the fluctuations of modern art, among them Arcângelo Ianelli, Takaoka, Jorge Mori, Tamaki, Armando, and Alzira Pecorari. They were later joined by Ernestina Karman, Sofia Tassinari, Mabe, Tomie Ohtake, Thomaz Ianelli, and Wega. But abstractionism, already widely practiced in Europe and the United States, would soon co-opt Fukushima, as it did with numerous other figurative artists of the time. Doors and windows, trees and flowers, cups and teapots, portraits and nudes gradually began to give way to lines and strokes, to informal language. The search now was for forms and constructions that transcended the figure and for colors, placid or fiery, that could express only conjunctural harmony. (...) And it was by focusing on the need for figurative-informal unfolding, concerned with painting with spontaneity in the quest to convey sensations and inner truth, based on gesture, that Fukushima researched and embarked on abstractionism. He became almost obsessive in painting canvases where images that can suggest infinite seas, winds crossing deserts or mountains, autumnal mornings, mirages, virgin territories, mountain twilights, breezes, dreams, celestial serenity, etc. A dreamlike world, through which he travels, perhaps even as if on another planet, where only lyricism cannot be absent. He, who came from Japan in 1940, here perfected forms and mastered chromatic balance, influenced by the contagious splendor of Brazilian tropicalism, especially in the 1970s and 1980s, when his informal composition reached its peak. Each painting was a contemporary visual, rich in nuances, eliciting both praise and criticism. The latter stemmed from some dissatisfied with the artist's rapid rise and growing acceptance of the trend. Infusing the East-West symbiosis of his work from the beginning, Fukushima became a true poet of color, perhaps highlighting the feelings of both countries, the one where he was born and the other that welcomed him. His first informal works and his most recent works follow the same spatial path that consecrated his painting. With his unchanging mark".

Testimonials
"In the world of abstract art, there is no room for artists without their own style. It is impossible to practice true abstract art without a solid theoretical foundation in painting, without mastering the technique of drawing."
"The artist is complete only when he fully develops his own art. The work is only complete when it is imbued with the artist's thought, when it, by itself, expresses the artist's feeling".
