Layers of Color 2203

Layers of Color series = non-figurative, spontaneous, phenomenal

The “Layers of Color” series, which began in 2015, is freed from the structure of figurative motifs, and pursues paintings that are pure visual phenomena.

This is the 3rd piece in 2022 and the 55th in the entire series.

The basic method for this series is to determine a screen (including orientation) that seems to be complete by laminating and grinding acrylic paint from a place where there is no clear theme, message, motif, or plan. While taking advantage of the interesting details that occur by accident, it leads to a single image as a pure visual phenomenon on canvas.

This work is thumbhole-sized and is the smallest work in this series, but regardless of size, each work in this series is independent with its own unique vision. This “2203” is also one completed painting.

The canvas is prepared with careful ground coating on both the front and back, and then placed on a temporary board. Apply 20 or more layers of paint on the screen side, including parts and solids. Then, the screen is built while grinding with water-resistant sandpaper while pouring water on it. It is made on a temporary board, and after completion, it is cleaned and dried, then placed on a wooden frame to complete. Since the screen has been scraped out, it is smooth, and can also be wiped clean with a dish towel or the like.

To make the most of “multi-layered magic,” one of the characteristics of painting.

From the time I set out to create, I found a method in line with my desires in 1999. Since then, we have been pursuing the possibilities of painting with a consistent technique called “laminating and grinding acrylic paint” with matières.
