Sho Shibuya's collection, Falling From The Sky, features 30 acrylic paintings inspired by rain and its diverse representations. The works capture the unique patterns rain creates on glass, with the artist expressing a fondness for the comforting grayness of rainy days. Personal experiences, such as meeting his wife on a rainy day, infuse his art with emotional resonance. Shibuya also acknowledges the darker implications of gray skies, noting that in other contexts, such clouds signify destruction and fear. His paintings serve as reminders of peace's fragility amid contrasting realities.
"I love the way these patterns never repeat, perpetually unique."
"In other parts of the world, the sky is not gentle. It's not rain that falls, but bombs."
