Work Details
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.”

Painting as PhenomenonHideaki Fujimoto explores the possibilities of painting through a method that builds up the picture surface by layering and grinding acrylic paint. His compositions range from the representational to the non-representational, yet all share a common quality of color and matière.Born in Akashi, Hyogo Prefecture, Fujimoto developed an early fascination with vehicles and machinery that grew into a longing to "make things." This led him to AKASHI National College of Technology, where he studied mechanical engineering; his graduation research examined the wear of NBC cutting tools in metal processing, and the textures and imagery of metal he observed under an electron microscope during that research continue to inform his work today.While still a student, he grew increasingly drawn to design and graphic art, and decided to change course, transferring to the Department of Industrial Design (now the Department of Design Engineering), School of Engineering, Chiba University, where he studied design more broadly. For his graduation project, he worked in a fine art research laboratory, producing paintings.After graduating, he worked at a design office and gained other professional experience before once again deciding to pursue painting. He enrolled in the Department of Oil Painting at Musashino Art School, spending two years relearning the fundamentals of painting and completing the program in March 1997. He moved to Naha, Okinawa immediately afterward, and has been based there, continuing his practice, ever since.Having long been drawn to painting's layered structure, uniqueness, and physicality, Fujimoto arrived in 1999 at his signature technique: building the picture surface by layering acrylic paint and grinding it down with sandpaper. Since then, while continuing to explore a range of visual styles, he has consistently pursued what he calls the "layered magic" hidden within painting.In recent years, he has also actively presented and sold his work online, including through e-commerce platforms and art subscription services.
