Layers of Color 1504

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

Since the “Layers of Color” series, which began in 2015, I have been pursuing paintings that are pure visual phenomena, freed from the structure of figurative motifs. This is the fourth work in the same series.

From where there is no clear theme, message, motif, or plan, every time one painting or scraping process is completed, the next process is judged, and eventually a screen that seems to be completed (including orientation) is determined.

The front and back sides of the panel are covered, and acrylic paint is applied directly to the screen, and acrylic paint is applied directly to the screen, but after undercoating and preparation with scrapers to crush the wood grain, 20 or more layers of paint are applied as depictions, including parts and solids. Then, the screen is made by grinding with water-resistant sandpaper while pouring water on it.

This “coating → scraping process” is often 1 term, but in some cases, this term may be repeated until you are satisfied while monitoring the screen. This work “1504” is like that.

The side of the screen has a black finish, and the slit on the back side is a duct that also serves as ventilation within the panel, but pins and hooks can also be hooked during installation. Since the screen has been scraped out, it is smooth and can be wiped clean with a dish towel or the like.

To make the most of “multi-layered magic,” one of the characteristics of painting. A scene that can only exist with paint on a support. Paintings as physical crystals.

From the time I set out to create, I found a method in line with my desires in 1999.

Since then, I have been pursuing the possibilities of painting with a consistent technique called “acrylic paint lamination and grinding.”
