Hiroi Hikaru No.2

I had a sense of incongruity with the fact that conventional expressions were superimposed as they were, and I came across this work while searching for new possibilities of expression. It was born in a space called the main hall of a temple in parallel with the main work for a solo exhibition in Tsukuba City.

Apply a base layer with modeling paste to explore a multi-layered texture where minerals are formed over a long period of time. Also, gold was densely applied to the edge of the support, adding a dense beauty depending on the angle.

This work finds the new light you've been looking for at the end of a search like walking through undeveloped land.

When I first started drawing this series, the subject was “nature.”

The lumpy matière on the screen symbolizes the earth, and the soft layer that oozes symbolizes the flow of water.

It was close to my senses, evoking “memories of scenery” within me.

However, as production continued, the depiction of nature gradually began to be linked to human emotions, time, and philosophy.

Hard strata turn into “strongly engraved memories,”

The ooze of water leads to “thoughts and feelings that flow and do not return,”

And the “serenity” born in nature overlapped with my own inner serenity.

If you look at it superficially, this work is an abstract landscape based on imagination.

However, traces of my own life flow, memories, and thoughts have sunk into it.

Before I knew it, drawing nature was supposed to depict humans —

I think that is the quiet change and change of meaning that underlies this work.

When I first started painting abstracts, the subject was “nature.”
The lumpy texture that appears on the screen and the expression that paint oozes out evoked “memories” and “feelings” of the landscape within myself.

However, as production continued, expressions of nature gradually became linked to human emotions, time, and philosophical questions.

The surface of the earth is blurry and lumpy with no shape.
Each work has a different meaning, and they reflect traces of my own inner world from time
to time.
At some point, drawing nature was supposed to depict people and thoughts.
This is common to all series.
