Work Details
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 work since the beginning of 2017, and the 29th in total in the 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.
This work uses abstract watercolor Esquisse drawn in the same year as a motivational source at the beginning of production.

However, Esquisse is not assigned to draw exactly like that.
It acts like a “launch booster” that unleashes Mathière in a fixed direction.
The work details of “how to paint” and “how to scrape” are proceeded while judging each process.
My motivation for creating this series was that I thought it would be a good way to pursue “things that can only be done with paintings” in my own way.
A scene that can only exist with paint on a support. Paintings as physical crystals.
It can be said that it is a product of my desire to see such works.
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 made by 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.
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, 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.
