Japanese photographer Shinichi Maruyama is well known for his colliding liquid photography – immortalising moments split seconds before they are lost to gravity. In his latest body of work, ‘Nude’, Maruyama continues his exploration of movement through photography – re-envisioning the language of traditional nude artwork and combining this with a reference to time. The abstract striding limbs create almost painterly strokes across a hidden canvas –  a sweep of flesh filling space. The conceptual artistic interrogation reminds one of the beauty of the human body, not through form, but through the ethereal capacity of human motion – reminding one of the power of dance, theatre and gesture.
